Just got home after filling up the gas. Open the garage door, and push St13 from left side like I do sometimes instead of driving in. I slip just a little and bike starts falling on me. No worries side stand is down. Gets too far over before I realize somehow it isn’t down. Slowly pins me with something crushing my boot and putting my right leg at a bad angle. I get to pull right boot loose but gouged a bit and may need new ones. Gas is leaking out overflow and no neighbors around to help. So that’s the bad. The good is for the first time I picked this bike up by myself. Little scratches on mcl blades. Now have ice pack on leg muscle. I hope it is back to normal before we head out west next week but for right now I can barely walk.
Sucks. But if that's your worst tip-over, I say you're doing fine. Try not to do it again (obviously).
My worst tip-over was with a Yamaha V-Star 1300 I had. Pulled into the driveway. My wife had left a black garbage back full of grass clippings on the driveway. Black driveway, black bag, after dark. I didn't see it. Front wheel hit the bag, stopped, and slid sideways bike falling over to the left. Got mostly clear except for left foot pinned under the crash-bar. I know lotsa guys say "no steel-toe boots on bike" but on that day they were the difference between my left foot being crushed and surviving unharmed.
In true first-world-problem mode, I pulled out my cellphone and called inside for someone to come help. My position was such I couldn't get out from under the bike. That was probably the scariest part - realizing I was pretty much helpless on my own.
