Title: So I fell over in neutral next to a state trooper Post by built2last66 on 10/01/11 at 01:36:38 Didn't realize it was in neutral, I thought I down shifted all the way but somehow I ended up in N and didn't look at the green light... went to take off (I was U-turning on the highway) and fell right over... next to a state trooper... heh. Pretty embarrassing, he just asked from his window what happened and if I was ok.. I just knocked my rear view mirror loose and scuffed my left hand grip >:( |

I started to get off the bike once in a Hardees parking lot and found that I hadn't put down the kickstand. roll on the ground :o |

Title: Re: So I fell over in neutral next to a state troo Post by arteacher on 10/01/11 at 06:20:12 I had a CB 750 for a while. I took it for a gentle ride through a construction site, stopped , got off,and walked away. Over it went, but I had stopped in a few inches of mud and it took a few seconds before it decided it was going to go over. ;D |

Title: Re: So I fell over in neutral next to a state troo Post by ratz on 10/01/11 at 08:09:19 On forgetting the kickstand,I've done that one at gas station.(2 different times!Once wasn't enough,I guess.) This is not bike related,but I failed my first driving test by running a red light as a state trooper was coming through from the other way.No coming back from that one!(Figured I would throw that in since it involved a state trooper!) |

Title: Re: So I fell over in neutral next to a state troo Post by Arizuno on 10/01/11 at 10:27:49 Thanks, sincerely, for sharing this, built2last66. Last week I attempted a seemingly normal low-speed left U-turn on pavement that sloped away to the left. By the time I noticed I'd run out of momentum, I was on my way to the ground. No witnesses, but the string of self-observations that followed was distinctly uncharitable. It's reassuring to learn I'm not alone in my lapses. |

Title: Re: So I fell over in neutral next to a state troo Post by Fish on 10/01/11 at 16:25:41 I can picture this in my head and it is funny. ;D I've gone to make a turn in first and found that the bike didn't want to be in first, that it'd rather bounce off 1st and go in neutral. But thankfully I was quick enough on the draw and got it in gear. That's happened a few times actually :-? |
