I agree 100%. ATGATT

Do not get too cocky ---  as they say  ---  dress for the crash  --- not the ride.   Just sayin

"just drag the bike to the next level parking lot with appropriate surface - if neccessary have it cleaned up a little. Most cars have a towline and will joyfully assist - and the guards are scratched anyway"


Kraut you crack me up man!!  Drag the bike with a tow strap,  .  I needed a good laugh today.

Man I am so proud of all you guys that never dropped yours.  I can't believe you've never backed it out of the driveway with the wife on back, who has just discovered a bee in her helmet, while at the same time you step into a big wet pile of dog doo, and a deer runs out of the woods and hits you and you lose your footing.  You guys are so lucky.

you are quite right, Sledge - there are some scenarios when the bike will inevitably fall however skillfull the rider may be. Big part of riders skills is not to enter such scenarios  

When I restarted riding some 13 years ago with a Road King I dropped her quite frequently until I had learned to avoid those situations - I just don't ride two up downhill in sand and try to make a sudden turn anymore for instance

Tell that to the bee and the deer, and oh don't forget the dog.
