Default Dropped It!!

Hey,
So I took the bike out today and just rode around. The weather was very nice and cool so it made for a good little ride. I brought the bike in my garage for a quick clean with some Honda Polish (Bike Spirits Spray Now) I cleaned it up good and I went to walk it into it's spot in the garage and I dropped the bike due to the grip being to slippery from the polish! It hit the riding lawn mower on the mirror the mirror folded in and then it nailed the slider and my turn signal everything was fine no damage besides a few nicks on the fairings which I wasn't to happy about but I'm hoping the OEM decals will cover up the small one. Has this happened to anyone else.. Haha I was so pissed but I cooled off.

Here's a picture I took Earlier

its happened to everyone at some point, i haven't done it with my 954, but it happened with my f3 once.

sounds like its not too bad. i'm glad it dropped into a mower or something to break its fall. careful with that polish.

I have yet to drop the 954.....But experienced a Baby Oil and rubber sheets incident that resulted in Damage. Does that count? Glad the Bike is OK.

Happened to me a few years back. Put brand new $100.00 pig spotters on and the left one went right into my garage wall. Put a hole in the wall and scuffed my damn mirror. I was pissed for 5 minutes.

As a rookie rider i went to my mother in laws house and parked in the grass. Got off and was walking thru the door and boom kickstand went in ground and bike on its side....

Kinkee...

Thank (add higher power of choice) not yet my F2, but I did once topple my old NS125R after getting it finally running after a long and tedious rebuild. Got it out, couldn`t get it kick-started, started pushing it to the paved road from our driveway walking beside it, barely touched the front brake, locked the wheel on some loose gravel, the bike went down on its right side with me on top of it and the front blinker went right through the fairing. Pissed like a squirrel with million nuts but no teeth, pushed it back to the carage, went to pick all the pieces from the ground and epoxy-glued it back together. Came out decently good but naturally left a spiderweb-crack surronding the blinker.

If you haven't dropped the darn thing, you aren't around it often enough.
