    Very steep drive on odd angle, little space, turning right and stalled it, dropped my 1050 St on my pointed foot, only a scrapped fairing that will be repainted but it crushed my foot! Agony tonight and pi$$ed off
    Counting down until my next ride out!

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    My drive is the worst type (according my instructor)
    Two differing directions of lean and extremely steep.
    Yep - I've done it on mine too (Only once though)
    Hope your foot heals soon !

    Me too! Not a question of if, but a question of when you find yourself in that horrible moment when you just have to put it down!
    Orange ones are faster, but red ones are more comfortable!

    Back in 1980 I rode up to my garden gate on my GS1000 and as I stopped and went to put my foot down the "flared" jean bottom caught on the footrest.

    Over I went

    At the isle of man in 2013 we called in at a motorcycle dealer and on leaving my mate stalled his speed triple on turning around to leave.

    Bike went over and catapulted him off in front of about 100 people - now that's embarrassing (even though we have all done it)
