Does knocking a bike off the centerstand count? Putting a bike on the centerstand takes up less floor space then when it's on the sidestand. But it's a lot easier to tip over. My wife has knocked over the GS with her car once, and I've done it four times. Plus, ran over the right foot peg once. This is the sixth set of handlebars that I've installed on it, but that's in 29 years. My God, I've had that Suzuki for half my life.

i slipped in a slippery floor parking garage last week and sorta dropped the gsxr-its was at supermax lean, frame slider was like a inch off the ground lol

had to let out a "beowulf" war cry to get it up without lettin it fully hit the ground

dropped the kawi 2-3 times, never messed anything up. one accident and it was totaled

guess i ran up my tab and it was time to pay

I was so pissed when I dropped mine that I picked it back up like it was made out of balsa wood.

Dropped the chop once... scratched and bent the pipe tip... had my pipe guy bend back out and repolish the stainless... cost $50..

You can drop the chop?
I figured that bitch would stand on it's own!
