dropped my 250 ninja 2-3 times (kickstand malfunctions), and my brother's cruiser once (fell away from me, while I was pushing it), all at 0 mph

Alright since we're posting embarrasing stories too I just learned how to flip my bike around on the kickstand so I was doing it everywhere. I walked out of the library at usf and started talking to this kid with a 1000 and some lady asks him for directions so he walks over I get ready to leave turn it around and didnt know to put my foot in front of the stand just in case the spring snaps back and the bike landed flat on me. I had to ask this kid I just met to help pick up the bike while I was pinned underneath it. Great first impression.

Another time my friend just got out of his msf course so he was messing around on his sv and were riding staggered in different lanes but around the corner there was a bump and it sent his bike in front of mine ... well i hadnt taken the class yet and didnt know the first rule of riding look where you want to go so i pull the brakes hard as im staring right at a big curb i didnt want to hit endo it up and luckily dropped down and got a foot down enough so it just layed down the side on the curb no big damage he saw i wasnt hurt. Guy drives by freaking out thinking I was seriously hurt yelling if he should call 911 or something and we couldnt even say anything cause we were laughing so hard at the whole thing. Needless to say I was signed up for the msf course the next week, learned so much that weekend.
