Default I set the bike down!!!

I was at the taco bell drive through and went to reach for my food thinking the kick stand was down. It started going and I caught it as the mirror was all over the wall and bent as far in as it could be. I could hear the people behind me laughing, I was so embarrased. I got my food and started to ride away and couldn't stear because the mirror was all up in my bars, I had to stop a few feet later to adjust it. Damn I feel sorry my bike had to experience that. No damage besides the mirror though.

shoulda told the people who laughed to **** off...if they ever get the ***** to ride they'll realize it's just one of those things, i about dropped mine yesterday. with one little metal stick holding a 380lb bike up some goofy little thing can bring it down in a second. i think i bumped my kickstand or something but grabbed it just in time before anything touched, about pulled my damn arm outta socket lol

welcome to the world of motorcycles! Don't ride em if you can't afford to get laughed it.

Wanna hear a funny story? I'm a HUGE michigan wolverines fan. My bike is Ohio state colors, scarlet and gray (Michigans biggest rival). I rode my bike into the parking lot next to the stadium to tailgate before a game (against utah) and I dropped it in front of a bunch of michigan fans. Scuffed up the fairing pretty good. About 150 people were laughing at me and telling me '**** THE BUCKEYS and **** YOUR BIKE'
'
I've never been so ashamed.

I've never taken my bike through a drive thru. At least you didn't actually drop it all the way. if would have been worse trying to pick it up while getting laughted at.

Thanks for making me feel better! I felt like I had done the bike wrong. It was suprisingly easy to pick back up, or was that my adrenaline running and the fact that it didn't go very far.
