I'm Not Gonna Lay It Down - Page 2

I do that about 2-3 times a year. Mostly cause I can barely get my toes down so when the bike lurches forward while stalling, it takes me off my feet. I have just learned to lay it down gently, take a bow and pick it back up. Thank God for frame sliders.

I have never done it at a light or while on the road but have in parking lots. Nice to know I am not the only one with this issue.

That camero was baddass... I have slow dropped it within a foot of the ground when I come to a stop and put my foot in oil in the middle of the road

I let my KTM (fully loaded with crap for a nice tour) rolled down a slight hill. I had the clutch in and thought that the bike was in first. When I let the clutch out and it was like, "WTF, over? Where the hell is my power?" The fucking transmission was in neutral. The fucked up part was the damn bike stopped at the rain gutter dip at the intersection and my short ass legs can't reach for the ground so the damn thing started to lean over to the left and kept on leaning. I gathered all my strength to lower it slowly to the ground. Luckily, it was in the middle of the night and nobody saw me. Hehe.
