Default When did you first drop your bike?

I put it on the kickstand forgetting it was in neutral on a little slope downhill turn to walk away and boom,so sad bike has never been over and this is how it happens.Right after a bath and wax .Just a little scuff on the mirror and barly on rear fender (thank got for frame sliders and rear spools) When did u first drop your bike?

Hahahhahahahhaha I did that same thing right after washing it a few months after I got it. I didn't scratch it because it fell over from the sidewalk into the grass.

First real time was last march front tire washed out on a patch of sand wish i bought frame sliders before that =(

i've learned that if you buy something to be more protective of something ie: frame sliders or an alarm, dont use it until its on cause usually right after you purchase it the thing that you're purchasing it for is going to happen

I dropped mine for the first time trying to answer my phone in my pocket when I was in my driveway. Man, I felt dumb.

Forgot to put the kickstand down when taking it off my rear stand, I was more pissed at the gas that spilled out . The bike was fine and I wasn't new, just tired and didn't check

Mines flat black and beater, makes concern for the appearance a much smaller problem. I've ridden it through small bushes to get out of a parking spot in my friends yard and laughed. only concern when it dropped was damage to the shifter but it was fine and seemed a little smoother so bonus for me.
