Don't be daft. You won't drop it.
I've only ever dropped a bike 5 times.
Each time through stupidity.
1. Whilst idling on the sidestand. Easily avoided.
2. Practising the mandatory UK examination U-Turn in a tight street. Suffered busted clutch lever. I even managed to pick it up before my instructor noticed. Boy, he was such a hawk .. :_)
3. Executing a U-Turn on a hill. Dumb as hell. Planted that one in the middle of the road. Miles from home!
4. Low sided, that means braked too hard whilst leaned over in wet conditions. Going way too fast, on cold tyres.
5. I was wheeling my 916 out of the shed and lost it on the ramp. It fell into a concrete post, fortunately I took a decision to put my head into the concrete post and save the bike.
I now have a wonderful scar on my forhead, but skin grows back and unfortunately, fuel tanks dont.
That one hurt.
Lesson learned!
Anyway ..
Once you program yourself to understand that there is no evil spirit hiding under the seat, waiting for any oppertunity to junk your ride, you'll be fine.
Because *you* won't ever drop a bike and the evil Djinn can't touch you now *you* know he has no power to make you do it.
