Well, it had to happen I guess...

[PTT]

Exactly 1 week and I dropped my r3t . Still getting used to maneuvering slow. Was slowly pulling away on a little bit of a left hand slope and Over it went. 'Bout busted a roid getting it back up since I was effectively lifting it up hill but got it (have to admit I had a little help from the wife). Slight scratch on top of my pannier since I hadn't closed it correctly. Luckily the only thing really injured was my pride. Then went on a nice night ride with the wife. All in all a good night.

Welcome to the other R3 family, "Those that have dropped her at low speed". Most of us have, most had no/little damage other than pride. Glad you got it out of the way early as I did and with little lasting effect

Does a 25 mph peg rail drag, front wheel slide-out in a 20 mph twistie count???

No crash is wimpy, Amigo!
Perhaps a price we pay for ecstasy!!!

Ayep, how many of us have done this ? Most, I suspect.

You did the best -- keep riding and post here.

Been there, done that, identical situation getting ready to leave the end of the driveway, took the wife and I to pick it up...and then just barely. I totally understand, but it didn't even have a scratch. It just makes you more aware of what not to do...kind of like the first time you park on a small incline and had to try and push it up the grade to get out. Each mistake makes you a smarter person!

I laid mine over the first day on purpose just to see what it would take to get it up. Wish I hadn't done that, it took me and the significant other to right it. She got pretty good muscles!

Well if you don't screw up every once in a while, you aren't trying hard enough

Dropped mine 3 or 4 times the first couple years, but not lately.
