Was thinking the same thing. I did that a bunch of years back with my brother in laws bike.were you using the front brake? gotta have a light touch or it will shift the bike into an uncontrollable drop instantly....
I bet he loved that.Was thinking the same thing. I did that a bunch of years back with my brother in laws bike.

It happened so fast both times, I'm not sure what I was doing. Now that you mention the front brake, it's entirely possible I had a firm grasp on it when I rolled the throttle. Good thing to know for the future.

No damage, dropped in dirt. I washed it for him.I bet he loved that.
Scars are sexy, saddle back up and hang in there! :thumbup:Last session of my first weekend racing, got annoyed that I was dragging my feet really bad on the track and decided to try and adjust my right foot.
Idiot me decided to attempt this adjustment as I was tipping into the hairpin. Right foot slipped off my rearset and stomped my rear brake instead.
Cue huge highside and star jump off my bike. Thank god for full leathers and a tough kwaka racebike! Bit of fibreglassing and he'll be back on track soon
The FZ6R went down when, like someone else already posted, I tried to do a tight u-turn up a hill. Scrawny girl vs heavy bike didn't work well for me there! It was so slow there wasnt any real damage though. Happened in my first month of riding though so I was pretty annoyed!
I've only just got back on the bike after a big stack, front end folded really hard and sent us both down the road at a fair pace. Apparently there was oil on the road just when I hit the brakes. I didn't see it at all
Once again frame sliders saved the bike, and gear saved me. Insurance covered new fairings etc. took a bit longer for me to heal but im back now, albeit with some interesting scars.
Its all a learning experience thats for sure!
I obsess about doing this accidentally. To help prevent it, I never use the kill switch to shut the bike off, I drop the kickstand instead.Fast forward and I've had the fz6r for a little over a week now. Almost dropped it once, was running late to work and got to work, pulled into a parking spot and got off the bike, felt it lose balance, I had forgotten to put the kickstand down. But I felt something wrong pretty early, so I reacted quickly.
Had another close class Saturday.
Long day at work and was riding home, got to my apartment complex and opened my garage with the opener.
I was about 20 feet away, perpendicular to the garage.

So I had to make a right turn into the garage.
My wheel was already turned and I let out the clutch too early (incredibly noobish mistake, I don't know how I allowed that to happen). So yeah, you guys already know where this is going. As soon as I felt the bike about to stall, I immediately knew what was going to happen, I KNEW!!! I ****ING KNEWWW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! IT WAS FIGHT OR FLIGHT TIME. And I planted my feet heavily on the ground, grabbed the handlebars as tight as I could and used all 150lbs of me to keep the biking from falling over.
I let out a loud "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and just used all my strength to keep it up.
I went super saiyan, to keep my bike from falling.
