Well.....he backed into it. He was backing out of his parking spot. Only thing I can figure, is he hit it enough to move it forward and enough to allow the kick stand to flip up and........boom. I mean he would have had to back up three car lengths to do this.Oh, that sucks, but I don't think it counts. You have to drop it.
When I dropped mine a couple weeks ago I had about a teaspoon of oil drip out.
Did you find out what he hit to knock it over?
Indeed it is. You're lifting the entire weight of the bike. Once you get it passed that 'tipping point' on the crash bars, it's a piece of cake. It just rolls right up. That first couple inches (6 maybe?) is a bear. Had I not had solid footing (and the brute determination of being pissed) I wouldn't have got it upright, by myself. To make matters worse, the lot was at a downward angle, which made it more of a lifting distance (angle). I will choose parking lots more carefully from now on.Just wondering:
Is it harder to get it up to the crash bars or the rest of the way up?
I once had my 1200 laying all the way on the ground, but I had help tp pick it up.
That is why I made it a point to thank the guy for being that honest and up front. Most people would not have done that. I don't think there will be much trouble. I'll just get all the scathed up parts replaced. I don't think there is anything major.Wow, that's amazing that there are still people out there that own up to their mistakes. My car just got hit this week, in my apartment parking space and nobody left a note or anything. Hope everything works out with little trouble.
Not a contest.... just funny was it happens, because it's not IF you drop your bike it's WHEN and how many people see it happen :waving:Ok I'm kinda new here, is there some kind of contest about dropping your Wing? The last time mine dropped was when I was trying to get it up on the center stand and the stand brackets gave way. The bike tipped over and the center stand remains in the parts bin.
This why I avoid, when possible, women riders and give women car drivers a wide birth. They are too used to getting a 'free pass' and not held to account for their actions.[ ...]
A female rider pulled up, locked her rear wheel (you already know were this is going) and hung out in the bar for a while. When she left, she forgot the lock, fell over when it jammed and knocked over about ten bikes - like domino's. Probably good thing she was a female, had it been a guy, he probably would have got beat. (I got lucky, mine was missed.)
Maybe the two of us could do it:cheeky1::dude::cheeky1: NOT:action:I sure hope I don't drop mine again, I think it would be pretty tough to get her back on her wheels now.
