Bikes are heavy....

I learned that the hard way today. Make sure the kickstand isn't over your foot when you try to set your bike down after moving it around in the garage. Especially if you are just wearing flip flops.......

Ouch! Didn't break anything did ya? Hope not!

I'm lucky that I only have a 400 lb sport bike rather than an 800 lb cruiser. If I had a cruiser I'd still probably be trying to scrape my foot off the garage floor with a spatula

The difference in kickstand size on my 250 compared to hubby's c50 is nuts, his must be as long as my finger! But that might spread out the weight along your foot, instead of it all being in one little quarter size spot! Note to self...Don't wanna find out!

a sportbike is heavy to me! ive always been used to throwing around a 200 lb dirt bike...quite a difference, even though you dont really feel it when youre moving around

when my buddy came down from Nashville i let him sit on my bike (hes interested in getting one himself...but a cruiser not a sportie). he commented on how light my bike felt! of course, he checked out some Harleys and those are nice and heavy. i got him interested in a Vulcan though
