I Finally Dropped My Bike

[JoJoJodyJo]

So stupid. Felt like a jackass. I was leaving a gas station in Oceanside. Getting ready to pull out and a car was coming fast so I stopped. Steep driveway (oops). Couldn't reach the ground (oh crap). Over I went like an idiot. Lol

Thankfully some guy ran over and helped me pick it up or I'd still be sitting there.

Double thankful for the frame sliders. That's all that got scratched and it went all the way down on it's side.

Other than that, I had an awesome ride today!

Things happen so don't even sweat it Jody. Instead of feeling "stupid" for a mistake that most of us will make, you should feel like a "genius" for investing in frame sliders. Had you not had the frame sliders, you would have really been upset.


Glad it all worked out & thank you for sharing with us

Thanks guys. I was laughing at myself and sorta kicking myself in the butt at the same time. Could imagine people shaking their heads saying "women drivers!" Lol

It least it took me five months to finally drop it.

Sorry to hear that you dropped your baby, but glad your frame sliders did their job.

Yea sorry to hear that but if your an idiot , that makes me one too. Got caught on an incline today and by the time my foot caught up to my brain I was rolling backwards. Didn't go down but had to have peeps laughing at me trying to get control. I know I would have been.

+ reputation for laughing about it and still being eager to ride

Sorry to hear about the drop but glad to hear that you and the bike are both ok!!

I have Shoguns. They were well worth the $90 or so I paid for them.

JoJoJoJody,

Sorry to hear you dropped your bike, but glad to hear the frame sliders saved the bike....yeah! I have them on my bike too.

I m only 5'2 and not flat footed on the bike. That is my fear too that will drop the bike when stopping somewhere in the mountain where the roads are very narrow and uneven. I m contemplating in getting the lowering link for the FZ6R!!! The challenges for vertical challenged riders like myself that loves to ride.
