Curves & Curves

Kevin, that's the best description I've heard lately. I'm like you, I ride the trike and 2 wheelers and I don't even think about what to do on each. Just years of riding does it for me. Everyone kids me, when I ride a 2 wheeler, about forgetting to put my feet down.

Before I ever got around a trike I had my 2 wheeler fall over because I forgot to put the kickstand down. I just got off and started to walk away. Just in time to watch it fall as I turned. Been a great day of riding with no issues with idiots on my new Harley Electra Glide. Right there in my drive. Was going to open the door since I didn't have a remote. I just stopped thinking about what I was doing.

So forgetting to put your feet down truly does sound like something I might do in that completely relaxed mode one gets into at times.

I've since tried to have a never ever EVER get in relax mode but in all honesty it still happens when away from all the OTHER idiots.

I now have to put myself in their category.:laugh:

I've had similar brain farts with my disk locks once in a while. Luckily I put the lock as close to the fork so I don't get up too much speed. That's an eye opener too.

Twice i dropped a bike by forgetting to put the kickstand down, The first time was before i had a trike... Around 2006 with my VTX 1800.
I parked in my garage and i didn't pull up far enough.. So i put the kickstand up started the bike and move up a few feet, Forgot to drop the kickstand...

Down it went with me under it...The worst part i was pined down i managed to slid out my cell phone and i called my wife to come down to help get the bike off of me, I thought i'll never live that down...Now fast forward to 2015, Parked my Victory on my driveway.


And the victory has a very sensitive kickstand, Put the kickstand down with the engine still running as i got off the bike it moved a hair forward, And again it pinned me down..

But this time the engine was still running [Harley's and Victory's don't shut off with the kickstand down]
I was albe to reach up and hit the kill switch.. Then call my wife to help me again.. That last one i can't live down..... If i ever do it again I'm just gonna set me and the bike on fire and then blame it on a rouge Comet ........:cxtv:

Knock on wood, I've never forgot to put my feet down, or put my kickstand down.

However, more than a few times I have forgotten to put my kickstand Up before riding off.

I did this a few times before having and trike, but I have done it quite a bit more since having a trike. That could go very wrong, but fortunately it has not.
