Dropping the bike

[frojo47]

Been riding a tdm900 recently and now got my trophy but i can only think im used to a slower revving sound but Ive stalled the trophy twice today leaving a junction with some lock on and bringing my feet up and over she went, cracked indicator scratched pannier, bummer. frojo47

sorry for your mishap, but if this could be of any help, or at least make you feel a bit better, this happens to many of us

That is a bummer as Verdun say it happens,

Sorry to hear of your spill. A bitch when it happens, especially on a new ride. But at the end of the day it is a thing and things can be fixed!
Hope you get it sorted soon.

frojo47,

Really sorry to hear about your 'drop'.   I know how you feel.  I 'dropped' my new Trophy at low speed after 2 days of ownership.  Worst part about it was two old ladies who were waiting for a bus, came over to see if I was alright and a bloke behind on a small Honda helped me pick the bike up and said "you wanna get a scooter mate, there're a lot lighter".  I scratched a number of panels, including the pannier. The repairs, plus a set of crash bars (bit late!), cost me several hundred pounds.

Try to forget about your mishap, get back on your bike and enjoy it.
Brian.

Dropped mine, scratched panniers, cracked lens, have left it as is, stops me worrying too much, she still polishes lovely after 6000 miles, but she has stories to tell

Yep guilty as charged!! 

I was only taking it off the centre stand. 

Only damage was the grill trim which I replaced myself when I was taking the fairings off to fit the sat nav.

I was very luck that I didn't have the panniers on.

Dave.
