Does knocking a bike off the centerstand count? Putting a bike on the centerstand takes up less floor space then when it's on the sidestand. But it's a lot easier to tip over. My wife has knocked over the GS with her car once, and I've done it four times. Plus, ran over the right foot peg once. This is the sixth set of handlebars that I've installed on it, but that's in 29 years. My God, I've had that Suzuki for half my life.

I was so pissed when I dropped mine that I picked it back up like it was made out of balsa wood.

You can drop the chop?
I figured that bitch would stand on it's own!
