I've dropped my '06 Tiger four times in four years. Three times in the first six months and the fourth about an hour ago.
Rolled into an area of loose bark chips and dirt. Is a spot where I regularly park.
Today I hit it just so and the front wheel washed out and down we went onto the right side.

I almost laughed as a millisecond before I thought "that looks more loose than usual"

I pulled off the topside bag and the top box. Crouched down, grabbed the loop for the passenger peg with my left hand and the handlebar with my right.

I basically stood up while holding it. Came up way easier than I expected.

Darn proud of myself, kind of feel like I overcame a rite of passage.

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
