Dropped it....
got it out to take my oldest daughter for her first ride, started it up to warm up, started to walk away, saw something move out of the corner of my eye, IT WAS MY BIKE ROLLING!! rolling as it was falling forward off the kick stand.... i grab it but only managed to give it full throttle as it fell....
i kinda broke its fall, and was in soft grass, so no broke parts, no scratches, just some dirt in the swing arm spools, pegs, and frame sliders hope nobody saw, cause i'm sure they would have thought why is that guying laying his bike on its side with the throttle twisted wide open

I almost did something along those lines the other day. I think you commented on that gangster lean my bike has? Well, i was getting off of my bike in the middle of my friends street which is very slanted towards the curb. I started to swing my leg over and the bike kep going and going, and i thought the bike started to fall. And then it finally hit the stand. It's so rediculous.

That is one of the worst feelings in the pit of your stomach, knowing that it's falling and that there's very little you can do about it...
