Both of mine were what I would describe as "layovers"; no injuries and just scratches on the plastic wing covers. I'm a pretty strong guy, but when an ST is going down, it's too heavy for me to stop it. I can only help ease the pain. Anyway, hadn't had the bike long, was very anxious to go ahead and pass the DMV motorcycle road test, so I was practicing in that tiny test "box" where you do all their maneuvers. In SC, the first test is what I found the most difficult. They want you to do four 90 degree slow speed right turns, then four left, and on both they want you to stop on a mark before you've actually completed the last turn. This test area is the size of my living room! My mistakes were, as a newbie, front braking to stop on their mark with the handlebars still turned. Well now, that didn't work out well. Worse for me, I did it twice!!! Happy ending to this story, passed my exam the next week with flying colors, and haven't tipped over since. I hope that'll be the last...
