You wait until you drop your bike in front of strangers, or worse still other bikers...or even worse than that! Strange bikers.

Best thing to aim for is reducing the impact, trying to stop it will cause injuries and possible more damage.

Dropping a bike in a road after forgetting to take the disc lock off is not advisable.

It's a real shitter. Especially if you're a weak little wimp like me!

I've done the same thing recently....3 times! In 3 weeks! Luckily I have crash bungs so no damage to the bike.

The first time I just jumped off and the stand didn't work properly* and the bike fell onto my knees. Queue 2 lovely bruises! I did manage to lay it down gentlt though.
Then the next day I pushed the bike forward a touch in the garage and stand came up and the bike went down!
Then on Monday I tried to make a very tight u turn and just lost my balance . It went down again! Someone saw this time, but stopped and help me pick it up.
I started to doubt my ability to hold the fucking thing up! But that passed.





*or I didn't put it down properly..(more likely)

The second and last time I dropped my bike I was doing an emergency stop downhill to prevent running into the path of a speeding 7.5T truck. I got most of the speed off then dropped it on my left leg heading to work. If I hadn't dropped it I would have gone a few feet further forward and would probably be dead, so I was happy to accept a few bruises and a little scratching on the windshield.

I dropped the R1 last week whilst looking after my sisters house when she was on holiday. No lights outside + garage + side stand slightly not all the way out.

Luckily, there was a big bile of black bin bags with paper in them next to it, which is what it fell on. No damage or scratches luckily.

Struggled a little lifting the fucker back up, they're heavy bastards.

Broke the windscreen and part of the fairing that borders the windscreen

Super glue is doing the trick to be honest. The fairing broke in three pieces. I've glued the small bit on the biggest bit that broke off, too. Now I'm going to glue that one big bit on the bike when the glue has dried

Haven't dropped one recently, but many moons ago I came home from work, got off the bike, holding the clutchside grip while reaching with my free hand to open a gate, done it a thousand times before.
The handle bar grip, one of those foam things, decided to part company from the handle bar.
Fortunately it fell into a larchlap fence so not much damage to the bike!

Don't worry, I dropped/fell off my bike in front of a park full of school kids who promptly ran over en-masse and asked if I was ok/laughed their heads off.

They learnt some new words that day I'm sure.
