I was riding down Sky Line drive once and pulled into a parking area to take some pictures. I put my foot on the kick stand and pushed it down but missed it. Started to lean the bike and my foot was on sand over tar and it slipped. All of a sudden I had the entire weight of that bike trying to take me over. I stopped it, but had a black and blue thigh muscle for two weeks. Ever since then I have been extra cautious about getting in places where it is hard to keep it balanced. You don't realize how much weight there is there until it wants to go over. It rides great because of all that weight, but it causes some other problems being so heavy. I will ride it until I turn 70 and then think I will trade down to a Piaggio. They have the two front wheels that lock when you drop below 5 mph.

I'm also available and willing to help you on this end, anyway that I can.
