Add my name to the list

What a dumb move. I was replacing the headlight bulbs tonight. I hop on the bike and turn the key on to check the lights and was going to start it and buzz down the driveway, put the kickstand up, got distracted, then went to get off to do something, and .......

I've had the ST for 2+ years and 50k miles, a VTX for 4+ years and 76K miles, and numerous street bikes in earlier years. To the best of my recollection, this is the first time I've done this. I must be geezin.

Welcome to the club... those headlight bulb changes are tough.

It happens. Just tell any bystanders that you've been doing that ever since you took the side car off.

Glad you were distracted in the driveway and not out on the open road.

Haha, that gave me a good chuckle this morning. =-)

When you really think about it, heavy bike balanced on two narrow wheels, why doesn't it happen all the time.

Might be a good arguement for car tires on the back wheel.

Stands with index finger pointed at you...

"HA HA!"

Daum, tough crowd in here.

Next time just walk around and kneel next to the fallen steed, carefully examine the oil tray and underside of the swing arm, then stand up, walk around and pick her up..... it will look planned and if done well, deliberate.....

Oh, there WILL be a next time..... DAMHIK.

Don't worry, at last count I think Karen's tip-overs are in double digits!

Experience is a useful tool, allowing you to instantly recognize when you've made the same mistake....again.

Yeah, I noticed that, but I wasnt going to say anything. Only took me 30+ years to get my one TOT. I guess that's not too bad.
