Tried to make a tight turn into the parking space this AM in nuetral, thought I had enough momentum. The more I turned the slower I went and I couldn't hold it up so I set it down as easy as I could on the right side. Tip-over switch kicked in, I kicked my self in the butt for being stupid and picked it up with no problems. Looked around to make sure I didn't look stupid to anyone other than myself and parked it.
BygDawgs bar needs a bit of touch up paint and there's a tiny knick in the tip over wing.

Add me to the club please.

Call me selfish, but the more tip-overs I read about, the less stupid I feel about dropping mine. Keep em coming, and maybe someday I'll be guilt free.

Sorry to hear about the drop but very glad it was as minor as it was. You gotta love the tip-over wings too! :)

I wish I could tell you that the club was both small and selective, but it's neither. Glad to hear the damage was minimal.

Alright, I just tipped mine too. It was parked in my driveway and I was moving it into my garage. I was straddling it and walking it in without starting it. I intended to just keep the stand down and walk it in. I guess I subconsciously put the stand up. I stopped in the garage and gently laid it all the way over. No real scuffs to anything except my ego. I had installed the new tip over bars about a week prior.

Whew, got that off my chest. I wasn't sleeping well holding that in from you guys!
