Just wondering...
Since so many of us have dropped our bikes at least once, how come almost every bike for sale has this caption "NEVER DROPPED"? ??? HMMM

Yup, it depends on your definition of "dropped!"
To me, having it go over at very slow speed and stop on the floor board isn't a "drop." Having it go over to the point the crash bars hit the ground and the tires come off the ground is a "drop."

One more lesson from President Clinton: The answer depends on how you define "drop". I can now say with a straight face that I have never dropped my bike, I just gently laid it on the engine guards twice.

Geez Doc, They should add another line to that poster.
"If you see him, shoot him and put him out of his misery."
