Heck, I have dropped mine backing out of my garage-downhill slope and also canted, and gravel-ouch... got ran off the road once in the forestry and dropped it when I hit the ditch, now that was a tough one-big drop off and the sit was lower than the wheels. The back to the bike is the easiest method of raising the 450+lb bike. Nice job in lifting.
I found another thing that is useful with DCT. On a left side drop it sometimes can be hard to reach the shift lever to put the bike in gear so it doesn't roll when lifting. I just reached down and set the parking brake this time.Heck, I have dropped mine backing out of my garage-downhill slope and also canted, and gravel-ouch... got ran off the road once in the forestry and dropped it when I hit the ditch, now that was a tough one-big drop off and the sit was lower than the wheels.

What impresses me most is the absence of any verbal reaction to the fu-boo. That shows great mental health. I would have gone off at myself like a Scud missile.
Not me but He. I have enough people that yell at me - I don't have to join the chorus.What impresses me most is the absence of any verbal reaction to the fu-boo. That shows great mental health. I would have gone off at myself like a Scud missile.
Believe me I've done the same in the adrenaline moment - jerk and lift and go down a second time with back spasm pain, once 350 miles from home. Strangely enough my strained lumbar felt pretty good sitting on the bike that time 350 from home but standing and walking were nearly impossible.Good job....I dropped my fully loaded nighthawk in a parking lot.,jerked it up, realized I was on the right side and the kickstand wasn't down. Ended up straining my back badley. The rest of the ride home was torture. Hope I learned a lesson.
