Around here that saying goes "there are two types of motorcyclists, those that admit to dropping their bikes and liars"

At least you had a good outcome to your incident, thats the main thing. Those leaves can be very slippery at times.

Dropping the bike in front of 50 people on a patio at a pub because I grabbed too much front brake on loose gravel is much more embarassing, been there done that.

I dropped my first motorcycle many times. 1977 yamaha XS 750 triple with full factory touring package. It was four years old when I bought it and I was still a teenager. I guess I learned my lesson with that bike. Haven't dropped a street bike since, but have had some close ones over the years.

First day with my 2001 Volusia, leaving my work parking lot, dropped her at almost zero mph.. she fell on top of me and pinned my leg, could not move, had to wait for a co worker to come out and lift her off me.. no damage.. no injury.. but have never forgotten, now I read your story and am just waiting to take my new Vaquero out for her first ride and deja vu is hitting hard.. wish me luck--LOL
