[QUOTE="ericboutin, post: 1304182, member: 42320"] Oh how I know about the gravel marbles!!! LOL.....yup that was my zero speed drop too. Cliff note version.....owned bike maybe 1 week......riding with my riding buddy (daughter).....she's a bit uncomfortable because my last bike had a backrest, I hadn't gotten my trunk yet for her.....anyway rolling to stop sign luckily on a very untraveled country road......put foot down.....foot slides....damn marbles......bike leans right......i say oh shite......i try to pull bike back upright accidentally rolling on throttle....scares shite out of me.....slip clutch a bit......i say oh fruck.....bike really leans right.....daughter does a nice little roll off the side of bike to the the ground and the bike falls also on it's right side about 3 feet further forward....did i say slipped the clutch!.....i look back see her sitting upright with little birdies circling her head.....i say she's alright and with what has to be pure adrenaline i put bike upright and reach over and put kickstand down and lean her over to the left. We both learned some things that day and she has never again asked me why we gotta put on all that gear to go for a ride!! Glad it wasn't worse for sure! Welcome to the club let us know what size for your proverbial T-Shirt!! [/QUOTE]
