The night I bought my first bike, a 1981 Honda GL500, I drove it all the way from Green Bay to Greenfield(a.k.a. Milwaukee) as my first long ride ever.
When I arrived at my house, I stopped on the driveway, dismounted to the left, and promptly had it fall away from me onto its right footpeg and mirror. Ouch! I thought I could put down the kickstand after I got off it. Never applied for a Honda CDA/HDA# though.
Locked up the front wheel at slow speed two weeks later at a gas station. Lost it to the right side.
Stopped in dark at city stoplight. Put feet down but Right foot went into pothole. Lost it to the right side.
Learned how not to stop on that Honda. My C-10 has been doing well so far staying off the right (or left) side.
