Layed the scooter over on its side when I tried to stop in a parking lot. It was probaly going about 5mph. My hands are scraped up, as well as my knee, and I'm going to have a nice bruise on my *. [B)]

    Did we have our leathers on? Gloves, chaps, jacket, helmet?

    My favorite saying, "If your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough".

    Glad you were not hurt too seriously!

    I hit a bunch of loose gravel. They spread it on the parking lots here like it's going out of style in the winter. It settels in the lower end; which is where i tried to stop. I'm not scraped up to bad. I'm surprise how I am more upset about laying the scooter over. It's my sister's, not mine. But, it didn't get hurt too bad. Just a scrached up reflector.

    3rd men do not talk about bruises on their butts unless it comes from a bite mark from the likes of remote girl....[:D]

    Did your pant leg get caught in the chain?

    Did the playing card noise maker still work after the crash?

    Glad you are not hurt too bad! [:D]

    Had a similar crash when I was a kid. Had a gal on the back I was trying to impress, turning a corner (low speed) slid on the gravel. down we went. Only injuries were turn signals, mirror and a bit of pride.lol

    Those huge bruises on your * hurt. I got one a few years ago when I wrecked my bike. I didnt tip over going 5mph though. I had the unfortunate bad luck of being on the vehicle of choice for a black lab committing suicide.

    ...[:D][:D][:D][:D] you REALLY hit the front break in gravel??
    That's what made you go down?[:D][:D]

    ...I'll tell you this one, so you don't have to learn the HARD way.

    NEVER ride up, alongside a curb, period...no matter if it's a scooter, are a SuperGlide. You will bust your * so quick...if I remember right...[:D]

    Yep, I was slowing down to make the turn and....WHAM...down I went. What was really screwed up is that five people saw me crash and didn't help or ask if I was alright.
