Just what the elderly Harley rider needs..
Their new line of accessories will be leather gear with snap out depends under garments, for those that just can't hold it ny longer...
Not to be a hater, but is it just me or does his orange dashboard look like a robot?
The tach and speedo are the eyes, the radio is the mouth..
Watch it again, you ill see it...

Nice day to ride, get a bite to eat, stop at the gas station and FORGET to put the kickstand down Doh! Who forgets to put the kickstand down? Me, thats who. @#%!
to drop it like that would make millions of hits on youtube and make enough to pay for the repairs if you sent it into worlds craziest fools or you've been framed..

- March 11, 2013, 18:14:42 PMI did and still think people will be watching the lights and the wheels and not were they are going, same as some of the air heads on their cell phones and they can not see things in front of them.

I can see people now dropping their bike or running into the rear of someone because they are to focused on the use of the wheels.

- March 11, 2013, 09:48:45 AMI had a similar experience - stopped the drifter in front of garage door, got off and opened the door. Pushed the bike into the garage, not noticing that the kickstand folded up part way when it hit the hump going in the garage. When I set the bike over on the stand, it folded all the way up and fell over pinning me up against the wall, luckily, or it would have gone all the way over. For a "small" bike, those things are heavy laying up against you against the wall!!!

- March 10, 2013, 23:49:09 PMPretty near the same thing I did 2 years ago; rode my Harley,(I know, there is that dirty 6 letter word again) in beside the Drifter, flipped the kickstand down, my foot hit a piece of chain on the floor, so I kicked it forward, away from the bikes. Pulled my foot back to set the bike over, my pant cuff hooked the stob on the side stand and pulled the sidestand back as I laid it over on to the stand. Over went the Harley, put a dent and gouge in the right tank side on the Drifter. It's a wonder I didn't hurt my back kicking my own butt over that one. Oh well, at least we don't mind proving we are human....

- March 10, 2013, 22:20:51 PMSorry to hear about the bad news, but at least there is a bright side:
damage was small and should be easily fixable
you had someone to help you pick it up
no body got hurt
Could have been a lot worse... You could have pulled up to a biker bar, and parked at the end of a row of HDs, and knocked them all over......

- March 10, 2013, 22:07:49 PMDon't know about the 1500, but I do know that the 800 has a automatic shut down if you leave the bike in gear and it will turn off the bike. But you will catch on really fast or have to buy a new bike...lol....

- March 10, 2013, 20:53:51 PMI think I'm just wore out. Been a long week. Funny thing is, my wife and I were at the grocery store check out line and the kid cashier dropped a can of veggies off the belt. Embarrassed, he said he had dropping stuff kinda day. I made sure he knew he wasn't the only one. After I told my story, the grin he was trying to hide was priceless. 
Ah, the hell with it. Lessons learned:
1) Don't ride Sunday after a 60 hour work week partnered with the flu.
2) Look down BEFORE I get off the bike.

- March 10, 2013, 20:34:11 PMok so your brother should not have knocked it back up when you were not looking......
