So....Like a DONK, i dropped it today....

It was drizzling out so when i went outside to smoke a cig, i noticed a small pool of water accumulating on the instrument panel...I then thought i was the HULK and tilted the bike right to get rid of the water....it topples over like a jenga board...holy f'n shit...i then had such an addrenaline rush i lifted it back up in like 3 seconds...to my SURPRISE...hahaha, NO SCRATES AT ALL.....woo hoo

But i still feel like such a f;n donk....

ok, do you have sliders?

You should really resist the urge to mess around with your bike if it's just sitting there minding it's own business.  Although probably not the reason for your drop, keep in mind that Ducati kickstands are pretty crappy.  When you park it, make sure the kickstand is all the way down and back, even jiggle the bike a bit to make sure it's stable on the kickstand. 

I've been riding motorcycles over thirty years.  My Monster was only down twice.  The first time, it fell off of the kickstand about five minutes after I parked it level on level concrete.  The second time I totaled it (completely smashed into a twisted mass) and I'm still recovering from the wreck over a year later.  Just another reminder to ride safe and always wear your gear.
