Never attempt to right a heavy motorcycle when it is tired. I was putting it on the center stand when it got tired and wanted to rest. Damage was a small tear in the seat and I lost a little hide where my head met the porch supports.

Best thing to do when they want to lay down is to get the heck out of the way!
Just like when my 2004#2 decided to lay down after I filled it up with gas. I guess it was happy that it was filled and just went right on over when I took it off the center stand. Although, I did forget to put the side stand down before taking it off the center stand...
Hope the head damage wasn't too bad!

Ah well, If you're not occasionally dropping it, you're not riding enough! I hope your head is OK.

I guess, I'm not dropping them often enough then!

Not enough damage to my head to get much sympathy. Darn it! I was hoping to get back to 4West at the hospital where the nurses spoil old goobers. LOL!!

Reminds me of an old horse my uncle used to let us ride when we were kids. Her name was Daisy. When she got tired of all of us riding her she'd just lay down and spoil our fun. So how about naming your new bike Daisy?

People who have known me awhile will attest to the fact that my head was never OK. So unless I've discovered a new process my head will remain as twisted as it always was.

In other words, another adjustment (bump on the noggin) won't change anything!
Stanford Hospital has some attractive nurses who do likewise. So I've been told. Kaiser not so much. But then it's an HMO.Coop said:
Ouch...hope you heal quick and ride that Tracer soon
I was in one of those management training classes, and another coworker I knew well came in, and said, "What are you doing here, you know they can't train wood".
Glad to hear your ok but what did your noggin do to the porch supports?!!! I think we would all bleed a little for our ST's!

Powder coating won't chip. My Shoei may not feel good for a couple of days. LOL!!

I don't know. Was hoping you did. 
I wonder if it may be to take a pee before putting on all the riding gear and getting onto the bike.
