I do it all the time at home... and usually it's the seat lock that gets me...

so anyone else?
I don't think I ever did on accident, but left mine in the ignition in the garage all the time. Since I worked at home at the time, I was never worried about it.

Anyone ever forget to put the kickstand down? And you start leaning the bike to the left and it keeps on going? One of those things you only do once. It was pure adrenaline and strength training that kept the bike from falling on it's side.

Nope, never. But I've heard of plenty of "riders" that have...repeatedly. What a bunch of morons.

I have, however, caught my bootlaces on the footpeg and set my foot down on gravel at a stop. Not fun, but like you said- you find ways to keep it upright.

The very first day I got my bike I did this But never went all the way down with it , it was quite the save.

Back to the initial question .... hardly ever in the ignition But always in the underseat

Just had that happen for the first time last night. I think my the left side of my body will double from the strength it had to exert in order to save the bike. Saved it though, and I hope to never forget again.
