    Thats the truth!

    Having said that, I did almost the same thing, only no pant leg involved. On my old GT750, I can lock the front wheel up while maneuvering around in my garage with the bars turned all the way to the left or right and it keeps perfect balance. On my new Katana, yeah, new with less than 280 miles on it right now, I did that same maneuver and down she went. Scratched my muffler & crankcase cover just a little tiny bit and broke off the lean sensor / road scraper / whatever that deal is off of the end of my right footpeg. I've got a new whatever that deal is ordered off of bikebandit right now.

      Man, your admission made me crack up as one who did this when I first got the Kat! I went down with mine in slow motion like a sinking ship! When stopping to go in the garage, the sand under my right foot started moving and moving to the right until I was on the ground holding my Kat. No damage but a hurt ego! I lifted her up instantly too fearing my neighbors would see Just grab some sliders from Braunstein and be done with worrying about it anymore bro.

        My driveway was gravel when I got my bike so I was using a piece of plywood to park it on...It worked great. Until once day I got off and took a step and it started to come over (wood rolling on gravel) I dove out on the ground beside it and the whole thing landed on me! hehe I was completely pinned so a neighbor ran over and helped me...boy did I ever feel stupid, but there wasn't a mark on my bike, or me. I paved the driveway a week later!
