I bet I have dropped more bikes than anyone else on this thread.....LOL....
My worst spill was right here in my basement ! Trying to move the old gold wing around and slipped ! Knocked me into the fridge down there , split my eyebrow open. Black eye for a few days too. LOL Crash bar saved my leg from getting smashed. LOL That ol thing was heavy !
You can`t push a bike beyond its limits many hundreds of times without loosing it once in a while, wears out knee slides as well.
The bigger the bike the heavier they are. Been under a few in my time but an XS1100H gave me my worst beating.

Jerry, am I correct in my understanding that an epoxy primer followed by a marine grade polyurethane color is the best finish for a saw? Any tips for prepping magnesium for paint? I'm thinking oven cleaner, followed by brake cleaner, and a final wipe down with xylene or toluol before painting. That should clean the oil out of the pores, right?
When we are getting paint mixed for the tractor, I will see what they have for marine coatings. There is an industrial plastic/resins/composite/paint supplier local, If they don't have it, no one will. I am sure they will cost a small fortune per can, but I bet one quart would do quite a few saws.

My dad dropped his over on himself in the driveway and was barely able to reach his phone to call my Mom out to help. Luckily he had his helmet on already and cracked it against the concrete drive and not his nug. Was able to get it off himself by the time she came out and she helped him pick it back up.
Got on it and rode it to work, now that's what I'm talking about. He got a ticket when I was younger and they were stationed in different states for doing 110 in the rain on an old Honda 650. That's my Dad! Still tells my Mom the radar must have been messed up due to the rain. I call BS.

The old wing was a 1976 all stripped down. No bags or anything. Made it look a little better. LOL
I stihl picked the OL up that day and went for a ride. LOL Surprised she got on there after looking at me. LOL We were stihl dating at the time.
I know its a Jap bike , but it was cheap and ran great ! LOL
I boil all my mag parts in soapy water for at least one half hour, then boil in clean rinse water another 5-10, change water out about 2-3 times. Spray down with brake cleaner and apply primer immediately. Can`t let bare clean mag set even 10 mins after cleaning,it starts to corrode immediately. Yep , prime with black epoxy primer first thing. Top color can go on even days later. Just lightly rub primer over with fine industrial grade Scotchbrite before laying on color.

Motorbikes, I likely dropped a motorbike 20-25 times in an evening. Hill climbing with rear paddle wheel, most climbs end in dropping the bike. Did that for 7 years,60-90 nights in each year....LOL
We would drive 450 and 500 Honda twins up the railroad lines, fall off the track sometimes....
I would have rode a lot more if I had quit drinking a long time ago. LOL
Learned no to have very many riding ! Last time I did that,took me 1-1/2 hrs to get 12 miles home ! LOL Never put it down , just very close many times ! Could have got home faster walking ! LOL That was then end of riding and drinking ! LOL

Leave the drinking til after the ride.....:msp_thumbsup:
I rode from the time I was 13 til around 35-36, was on some type of motorcycle almost every day, usually several on each day. Build, compete, race,tour and just ride for fun. On and off road, track and trail...LOL
If it had two wheels I was on it and having fun. Had my YZ 250 12' up in the air.
