...while parked and dismounting your bike pulling the right leg over the seat. I had a bunch of stuff on my seat, so it was the only viable way to get off of the KLR. I lost my balance and fell. (bike was on kickstand and didn't go anywhere). No doubt the gear saved me from losing some skin or getting a nasty mark on my elbow. Nothing to save me from the embarrassment while 10 onlookers witnessed it.

I did something like that first thing on a Monday morning.
Lucky for me there wasn't anybody around.

When that happens, just jump up and take a bow!

Might as well throw down some breakdance spins or a little pantomime while you're down there, really own it.

Or just lay there, screaming "I'm hit! I'm hit! Ohh, God they got me!"

everyone knows that if you fall off the bike, the best thing to do is get right back on!

Somewhat related: when I used to crash constantly I was tempted to get a large patch for the shoulder of my jacket that said "authorized motorcycle safety gear test unit."
