I dropped my bike today. One bar end, a nicked frame slider, and whole lotta shame. I was in between classes and in a hurry so I jumped on my bike and w/o letting it warm up turned the bars clutched out to enter the road and stalled it, clunk. I couldn't put a foot down fast enough.....freshman

Dude! That sucks!

Good to hear that you and the bike escaped largely unscathed.  :'(

You're lucky the biggest hit was to your ego.  Glad you are O.K.

...turned the bars clutched out to enter the road and stalled it, clunk....

Next time try the following.

1) turn the bars
2) let the clutch out
2a) open throttle
3) ride away w/ego intact

On top of that, you misspelled putz ;)

Most important is you are OK.  Most of us have had similar mishaps.

Glad you're OK.

No worries. You're in good company. Hell I ended up cracking a bone in my wrist when I did it this spring.

My best friend dropped his in his garage. He forgot to put the side stand down...  [bang]

Your ego will recover.

What's that saying, "rubber down, and paint up"
or "there are two kind of riders, those who fall off and those who will fall off"
or "we all fall just a matter of time"
or "things like this make for great blogging!" (or small talk)

I love bike quotes and i enjoy reading other member's qoutes
