Crikey - this one got a much bigger response than I expected! I've tried to answer all the comments but there are way more coming in than I can handle - I promise I will read them all but apologise if I haven't responded to your particular note. Thanks for all the kind words and yes I know I should have put the stand down BEFORE I lifted the bike (I realised that the moment I started lifting!!) Cheers all and thanks again!

[@totemimaging]

Hehe - come on, be honest you dropped it on purpose 😜 Didn't realise you owned a drone too - when you have time check out my drone film content and subscribe if you like! 😊

[@stevezodiac491]

It is a scientific fact that two wheeled vehicles are inherently unstable by design.

[@NewYorkCityonTwoWheels]

I hadn't even thought about putting the stand down before lifting the bike. Makes so much sense - will keep this in mind for when I drop my Royal Enfield...

[@totemimaging]

@@NewYorkCityonTwoWheels yep! Usually becuase of the stress/panic of dropping the bike we forget the basics! Happens to all of us once or twice 😂

I remember the first time I dropped my bike. The moment it happened I looked around to see if anyone was watching 😂

[@andybraund6987]

Respect for posting this one, we’ve all done it and no doubt will again!

[@nivotron960]

Watching TMF is like putting on a warm, pair of your favourite slippers. Living in a country where everything has turned to chaos because of a bit of snow, it's gratifying to wake up to a video where the star, even upon dropping his pride and joy, simply initiates text book pick up with zero profanity and a chuckle "Jeez that was a bit slippo".

[@PVAPPE]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. ;-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed!

[@pvtaitchison]

and.........when you can immediately use the GS again, it's an outstanding landing.

[@Daemon_Wraith]

A landing is just a controlled crash. :D

[@Xiao_PP]

Haha of course TMF's thoughts immediately after a crash go to bike cleaning!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sure do - glad to say she’s back to her normal self now!

[@motodevcam]

That was so stressful!! Every corner I was expecting an off!!! So glad it was just a drop in the mud!!

[@marcdavis2840]

Well done for keeping it real! 👍 A lot of people would have edited that out! - Excellent pick up technique

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That was the good bit Marc! Thanks for watching - TMF

[@TomStorey96]

Yeah, like this technique. May have to use it when I eventually drop my Tracer 900 😒

[@pistolpete6321]

Drone footage was amazing. I nearly did the same thing on my GS a few weeks ago pulling over to take a picture. The mud on side of road was like ice and nearly washed out the front end! Once the mighty GS starts to go down, gravity wins every time!

[@davidbaines7014]

Well done TMF. For carrying on with the recording. I wouldn't expect anything less. The professional you are. You are a legend mate.

Thank you David....wow....not been called that before!

Hi TMF! Great video as always. Glad you and the bike were unhurt. Excellent body mechanics on picking up your GS so you did not hurt your back. Drone footage was excellent, thank you for that!

[@mgtfmanify]

When you put the sidestand down in that soft mud I thought it was going to sink in and the bike fall the other way😄

[@gustoramus]

I lilke your initial reaction, a chuckle, reminded me of taking my 500 Beemer off road years ago, and right away front wheel begins to push mud and over we went, a surprising laugh and try again, happened again, another chuckle, and get outa there..........even at slow speeds it happens so fast it is just a laugh............

[@frankfeely9235]

Bike life.. never a dull moment! Last summer at a T junction on a dry day at a standstill bike slowly tips over on the left side no idea what happened or why but down it went, thankfully (ahem) there were loads of cars and people to witness the event and give me a hand to pick it up. New clutch lever was the damage, one VN1500 up for sale was the result. I'm sticking to the lighter stuff, at least I can move the ZZR600 around without feeling like I'm driving a bus. Getting older has its disadvantages.

[@moondog303]

Thanks so much for posting this vid. Anytime I view a bike drop or crash on KZbin, it’s always a helpful learning experience on potential accidents to try and avoid. Glad you weren’t hurt and the bike survived unscathed.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Good on you for not cutting it out, just remember to never say "I can handle it" again 😂😉👍

[@Miata822]

Ouch! I'm glad you are not hurt. Full credit for having the nerve to post it. I dropped a Multistrada in the mud at a campsite. More embarrassing than damaging thankfully. It's amazing how little traction our bikes have with street tires on any kind of wet dirt yet still grip well of wet streets.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it is I agree!

[@bigmartin]

Just a small piece of advice, if you’re picking your bike up from that side (right hand side of the bike) put your side stand (kick stand for the Americans) down so if the bike goes too far from vertical she won’t topple over onto the opposite side. Glad you’re not hurt 🤗

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I realised that as soon as I had picked it up!!!

[@gdscheiwe01]

Some of us do refer to it as a side stand. But the Harley riders always make fun of us when we do.

[@bigmartin]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Oh I know, its easy for us all to be experts from the sidelines. It was a lesson I learned myself.. Btw, I'm a GS rider myself (older than yours, a 2010 twin cam) but my son just bought s 2015 GS based on your reviews of other bikes and comparing them with your GS in your clip where you wondered about selling yours.. That was the clincher for him. I love your channel.. When can we expect you and the lads to check out another biker cafe, they've been fantastic videos.

Watched this a little late, but it reminded me of my drop last summer - 2nd in 12 years of riding. Both were with people nearby advising me how to park and supposedly watching for hazards, both times bumped panniers into innocent-looking lamp poles I hadn't noticed. Lessons learned: 1) trust your own instincts, and 2) if you don't take a drop every now and then, you're probably having less fun than you should.

I'm sure that brings memories to the majority of us. I was at a roadside burger bar, frequented by bikers. The ground was gravel, with sloping areas and potholes. Youngster rolls up on a KTM duke, side stand goes into a pothole and his boot on gravel. Well ... you can imagine what happened, and the guy's embarrassment. We helped him and the bike up, checked them over, and then an older fella went over to him, shook his hand, and said ..... 'welcome to the club'. That about sums it up, and was kinda nice I thought.

Top marks for having the honesty to put the vid up. It would have been so easy to quietly bin that one. Anybody who has been riding for any length time will certainly have had a similar incident. I remember a few years back locking my bike up, a R1200RT which I'd only had a couple weeks, while I watched the Queens Elizabeth, Mary 2 and Victoria on the River Mersey. Muggins forgot to remove the u-lock from the front wheel and promptly tried to ride off. Luckily I was moving off in a straight line and not making a turn so I got away with that one and didn't go down. I've not made that mistake again!

Great place and pics, so easy to slip especially when being careful ! Glad nothing hurt.

Thank you!

The GS has now been properly christened, good it was slow and no breakage on the bike or you, love the vids.

Capsize!!! You win the Queen's Award for Profanity Control. Seriously though, glad you and the bike escaped damage. Well done on picking it up too. When I dropped the RT (car park, side stand not down properly - easy as you note in your RT review) it fell onto the pot and pannier and I got it back up using the same 'back to' technique. And I swore a lot. Nothing much damaged though except a scuff on the head protector and pannier. Actually I think the boxer layout helps a bit as it pivots over the head rather than lying flat. Still a heavy beast though. Anyway... great dronage! Lovely spot too.

Yes I agree - the fact that the bike doesn't lay down flat is a huge help....

If you have to drop it ,that's the place to do it.No injuries and no damage! Spectacular drone footage though.
