[QUOTE="kballowe, post: 1112948, member: 5200"] Well, when I first got mine (my second one)..... It was 30 degrees outside at 4:30 in the morning and I was bundled up like the Michelin Man. Threw a leg over and didn't get quite high enough..... Now, I normally hold the front brake lever when doing this. Ugh. Not this time. My leg got caught and it shoved the bike ever so slightly forward and then the side stand folded. It's dark. It's cold. It's 4:30 in the morning, and I'm laying there, on the ground, with a bike on top of me. The Wife walks out and says "how's it going" ? Ohhhh, not bad, I says. I picked the bike up and rode it to work. Amazingly, the rest of that Monday went very well. Very minor scratch to the lower case and nothing on the plastics. That's it. Oh, and one broken ego. I got home that evening, and commenced to lower the bike. [/QUOTE]
