Took my bike off of the rear stand and forgot to put down the kick stand. Luckily for frame sliders the only damage is the frame slider and the clutch lever. Just needed to vent.:dunno

Same thing here, 2 weeks after getting her. broke the clutch lever and little scratches. Oh well, gave me a reason to get the CRG's!!

Did it too. Except my '00 was on the stand with the rear wheel off. Try picking that thing up and getting back on the stands by yourself. Wasn't fun. Luckily the plastics were off it at the time and only a clutch lever was bent.

I did that a few weeks back, was moving the gixxer around in the office and went to put on its kickstand but forgot it was up...the bike started going over and I my foot slipped when I was trying to pull it back upright, so somehow I managed to get underneath the bike and let it fall on top of me saving my freshly painted plastic. I gotta nice bruise on my arm and pinky from my clip on tho.
