I really appreciate this thread as I now know I'm not the only one that has done this. I stopped at the end of a parking lot to transition to the street. I planted my right foot directly into a pothole and fell over like a falling tree. I was so embarrassed, but it does happen to everyone at least once (or, so I'm told!!). The crash bars did their thing and some black paint corrected most of the damage. She's as stealth as ever!

I was riding my VTX from the trailer to the garage, moving to a new place. Step driveway, and halfway up I stalled the bike, missed the brake and dumped it over. I was wearing shorts and flip flops.
The leather bags caught the bike, and it was easy to up-right holding the brake. My neighbors all watched with concern.
