Tip over or Get Off? ST1300 SUX as an adventure bike. I was on an exploration ride on asphalt road. Road construction blocked my way so I had to make a U-Turn. Not enough room to complete it within the road surface so made the choice to continue the turn at the end of a gravel driveway. Lost the front wheel on the marbles. My first drop on the ST. Took two tries to get her back on her feet. Heavier than she looks. Killed the plastic engine guard cover but other than my pride neither one of us was injured. The engine guard did it's job even in the gravel no damage to the pannier. My video begs the question does this qualify as a Tip-over or a Get-off?
