Have you dropped a street bike? Ever? When did it happen? What were the circumstances?
Here are mine. My first bike was a brand new 1990 HD Sportster. Between February and May ‘90 I dropped that bike twice. Two slow speed stalls. No damage done. Not a scratch.
Next was my Kawi ZRX 1200. Summer 2003, Riding to work after an overnight rain and I was sitting at a (long) red light. The smell of something cooking was wafting up from the engine bay. I put the bike on the side stand to have a look. It was earthworms burning on the headers. The road was a slight downhill and the bike rolled off the kickstand. Parts got broken.
Lastly, in 2006. Kawi Z1000. 70mph, operator input error, tank slapper and highside. Bike, leather jacket, jeans, sneakers and helmet totaled. I was banged up, bruised and road rashed
