Re: Stupidest Bike drop ever

It's the year 2000. I'm taking my silly 18 year old ass to go show a hot chick friend my BRAND NEW 2000 R6. At the time it has somewhere around 1300 miles on it, and I just had the fender eliminator installed. My Bike.....Is B.A. I pull up next to a car FULL of Hot chicks around my age maybe a little older Pontiac Sunfire convertible.....I'll never forget it....I sit on the bike for a second letting them take in this awesome sight next to them, me as the highlight of course. Then decide its time to dismount to go show the original hot chick my new toy. Dismount, start of cowboy walk away from the bike.....2 steps....*CRUNCH/THUNK*........*Tear*....*Laughter from the Sunfire*....Thats right boys and girls....NO Kickstand.....I'm not sure if it was sheer adrenaline from fear of cost....Or Embarrassment...But @ 165lbs or so....I hulked the bike up so fast I awkwardly almost flipped it over the OTHER way! Remount....Bike Start....Slow drive away of shame to a nearby parking lot to curse very loudly over the small scratches and damage. Met original chick friend later @ a Party when she got out of work.......She showed up.....With 4 chicks in a Pontiac Sunfire.....FML.

I will not be beaten.

Classic stupid move - no kickstand. Epic story though!

ALWAYS man. My soul hurt when that thing crashed to the ground behind me.....And then there was the hot chick shame factor. I'm surprised I didn't fcking melt or implode/explode with a pop. Evisceration. That would be the word for it.

That is awesome. Isn't it amazing the little things we do naturally (like engage kickstand) are forgotten when hot chicks are present. Women.......can't live with them, pass the beer nuts

But at least it was almost a slow motion drop. No frame sliders but no fairing damage except for a few scuffs on the stator cover. Not even a scratch to the mirrors or the stock turn signal. There goes $80 in a replacement stator cover and gasket.

The reason I think it's the stupidest drop ever is because I almost did it once before and swore I would not try doing tight turns in low speeds on the bike again. I am going senile at this point.

Just in case you are wondering 2008 R6 bone stock except for the fender and I am the second owner for just under a month


You coulda had a woodcraft one with the gasket for not much more than that bro. :/ Or covered it up for about that much with a CF piece if the damaged one doesn't leak.

Hey great idea Chief - I was about to bid on a new stator cover on eBay. The cover is not leaking. The scratches look more like just something in the garage rubbed up against it.
