Dropped my 99 Venture while 2 up and pulling a trailer up in Knoxville. Came off 40 and stopped. Put my right leg down, not realizing that there was a dip in that spot. Over we went. Twisted my ankle and my wife bruised her shoulder. Fortunately there was no damage to the bike other than a bent foot peg. I stopped to pick up a bottle of Aleve and dry ate it all the way home that day.

I had the opportunity to demonstrate the proper way to lift a Goldwing in front of a MSF class. And while there were different skill drills going on, the instructor made sure everything came to a halt so everyone could focus on me lifting my GL1500 from the tarmac..... :blush: ..... Jim

Dropped the Harley ultra classic, fueled it up, parked it in the garage when I got back and didn’t get the kickstand fully extended, there’s no way to stop a 900lb bike from falling over, thank goodness for the engine and bag guards. It was a chore standing that joker up by myself.

I never "dropped" a 2-wheeler... but I have ferociously held on to it - so as to GENTLY lay it down.:D
For the next couple of days my upper torso let me know what a hero I was... SO sore... :(
1981 GL500 Silverwing Interstate - in gravel - quick stop in a gravelled parking lot.
1987 Kawasaki Voyager 1200 - in gravel - while trying to back up... they didn't have reverse, just leg power.
Yep... thank goodness for the engine and bag guards.
