Worst place you've dropped a bike?

[Misc]

Sorry if we've had one of these (can't remember)

But i need to make myself feel better.

Did a solo ride to Hastings today (one of my best rides i've had) & as i was leaving the bike carpark (the one with the narrow curbs for going in/out) i reversed my bike & the front wheel was touching the curb so i attempted to man handle the front to move it over a few inches & my hand slipped on the throttle, gave out a massive rev & then hit the deck.

It didn't help that today is one of the hottest so far so sun + beach = lots & lots of people.

Make me feel better.

I dropped my stunter in the ice on a cambered corner and was laughing my tits off as everytime i tried to lift it i slid away from the bike?

People still had the audacity to beep at me lol.

I found it pretty funny at the time really, was just taking it easy at about 10mph on the sheet ice, and suddenly i was on top of the bike lol

I've dropped the ninja on top of my left leg at a petrol station after filling up luckily it wasn't too busy.

The Guy at the till didn't say anything when i went to pay which I was grateful for.

was sunny, and just rained. road shiney, didnt see white line of light controlled pedestrian crossing.

slammed on front brake. i stopped before the line.

bike carried on.

so i casually walked over, picked it up and rode on.

does that count as running a light?

back garden was the only time Ive dropped a bike.

Although doing a bit of bike hunting the other day and sat on a speed four, didnt realise how big they are and almost had that on the floor

Through next doors garden fence.

I'd just ridden into my front garden. No streetlights, someone passing stopped and said hello, I talked to them for a while without getting off the bike. I thought I'd put the sidestand down, but apparently I hadn't!

no me but at george white's open day a few weeks ago a lad dropped a brand new bike in the showroom, he ended up under it somehow with one leg in a waste paper bin
the place was packed at the time and i'm sure he felt every bit as daft as he looked
if it was you and your reading this i couldn't help you up as i still have a dodgy knee

A few years back went surfing (hired gear) came back to bike and wasn't really aware how knackered I was after two hours in the water.

Got on bike, heaved off sidestand and it just went over - I couldn't stop it.
It fell onto the *inevitable* VW beetle alongside, but miraculously he had parked with front wheels sticking right out.
Bike landed neatly on tyre and did no damage whatsoever.

Binned this bike once whilst trying to follow a friend on his crosser. BT45s don't work in mud but steel bars do straighten.

Daughter has binned this bike. Paddling it around she fell over and was trapped underneath. Helped her up..she got on and fell off the other side.

Cheers guys, definitely cheered me up.

I was parked next to a Harley that looked like it'd just come straight from factory with pristine chrome bits. Luckily i didn't land on that.

Good old Bandit tho, not a mark on her & that's the first time i've dropped her this week, honest..

If that was my old shiny sportsbike, it'd need a whole new fairing probably.

Toppled it sideways into a ditch with a big nettle bush growing in it. Pain coupled with the embarrassment of leaves and twigs poking out the fairings

Middle of Bristol, forgot disc lock, turned hard right, waited for gap before going for turn around and got about a metre before an abrupt stop and dumping the pan in the middle of the busy road. Amazingly easy to pick up when you feel like a total prick, total fucker to even move when there is nobody watching

Was at a jammed packed burger bar over the weekend in Plymouth (Capn Jaspers), loads of bikes everywhere when a guy on a Gixxer forgot to put his sidestand down and over it went. Me and another guy helped him up with it but he was soooo embarrassed.
So far the only time Ive dropped my bike was the first day i got it and i was backing it out of my garage, on a camber and over it went.

I had a slow speed spill a couple of weeks ago now. I was coming out of our sixth from center and it's a blind left hand bend that goes down a bank. It's only blind because some knobber put a fence up. Anyway, I was proceeding slowly through the car park and was just about to go down the bank when I saw a car come up the other way. So I instinctively pulled the brake, hit a patch of gravel and lost the front end...

The lesson I learned from this is to not put off buying crash bungs

I was on my GS adventure coming back from the highlands. I'd been on the bike about 6 hours at this point after 5 very long days. Stopped in traffic coming up to a round about. Foot down, lean bike over, and the bike just kept going and by the time i realised i couldn't catch it, i ended up rolling over the road almost under a lorry. He swerved around me bumped over the kerb rather than stopping to help.

Nice cute little red headed nurse got out of her car behind to see if I was ok. That was the first and only time I picked up the bmw by myself. Shear embarrassment in front of a loverly young lady powered me on!

The worst place for me was in the pit lane at Brands Hatch, had just lined up for the sighting lap.

Due to me be overready (first trackday), managed to get right to the front behind the instructor.

Nerves set in and the instructor went out and I somehow managed to stall the bike, then finding bike lieing on top of me with about 30 (maybe more) bikes behind me.

[Louise]

My first big bike - the Bandit 6
On a camber I went to park front first Couldnt get it to lean right on the stand so tryed to move it backwards.. Camber was too steep, droped it knocking over a scooter in the process

[lozzypop1]

Unsure which was worse so am posting about both.

1) Tesco's carpark, sunny saturday lunchtime - U turn out of the bike parking bay (directly in front of store) and realise I've not enough revs to straighten out the front wheel. The bike flopped down in the middle of the main entrance/exit route.
As I was holding up about 6-7 cars, and had semi-lifted the bike before pulling a muscle in my neck again (damn whiplash.) One of the drivers jumps out to help me lift it. I thank him, and push bike to the side. Once there I realise I 'm on the right hand side of the bike and for some reason I completely failed to get back into the seat, and was unable to put it on the stand.
So... I lean it up against one of those black bollards in order to nip round and mount the damn thing from the left... The bike slips down the bollard ending up on the floor again. Trolleyboy by this point has wandered over and asked if I'm ok... I think i just grunted at him in embarrassment.

2) Had gone on a rideout with a fella off the Wales section on here, first time I'd met him but it was a lovely sunny afternoon. After a nice jaunt around some of the local lanes we stopped in a pub for a nice chilled glass of coke.
Beautiful Pub by the river, lovely beer garden full of people relaxing in the sunshine, as we're getting ready to leave chatting away, I start the bike (for once, whilst standing alongside) and then had a brain fart moment and dumped the clutch. The bike Bounced up onto back wheel, Mounted the HUGE biffa bin that was in front of it and promptly fell flat on the floor, handlebar pinning my foot to the ground. As you can imagine, the beer garden went silent....

Never work with children, animals or bloody motorbikes.

Worst for me was dropping the GS while coming down a hill in the sahara desert, all on my own in 38+ degree heat, had to quicky block up the fuel tank breather pipe to stop fuel pissing everywere and unload half of the luggage before l could pick the bike up and all of this was after a long day of riding in the desert.

lost enough fuel to force me to plot a new route straight through the desert to a valley in the mountians, just about made it to a border town.
