So I fell over in neutral next to a state trooper

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 Angry

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

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.

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!)

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.

Good ole Wiilie is always in "high" gear falling over near state troopers.

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
