@@buzz4774 as commented previously, they don’t make training wheels big enough. 😂

@@johnelliott3617 true! Very thankful for the guy in the video.

@@Patrick-sv8sf true. Thanks for the encouragement. 🙏

@@tommynikon2283 oof, that’s terrible. Guess it happens to the best of us. So sorry you were injured. I wish you a flawless operation and a speedy recovery, my friend.

@@gilvietor1918 no it didn’t. Just a clumsy stop unfortunately.

@@sgtfixer happens to all of us at some point, at least you didn’t get hurt

@@gilvietor1918 thank you for the kind words.

@@cynicaldodgyknees6248 that’s good advice.

@@shadimagdy8196 done! 😁

@@netkongen 😂

@@davypross bro I felt guilty for dropping her for several days 😂. Yes it’s an amazing machine.

@@BottomLineBassin2 thank you 🙏

Which part? 😂

@@damarcuz1 it’s a really nice little town.

@@airmotivewelding8012 good tip. Thank you. Good bike, the KTM!

@@marcv338 thank you 🙏 😊

@@maraudermitchelli thank you for the kind words. To be honest, this little mishap shook my confidence more than I would’ve expected. But, it didn’t keep me out of the saddle, and I still love the beast.

@@elithegreat6463 honestly, I think it was my balance. Originally I thought it was because I had the fork turned and braked abruptly. I rewatched this several times and I don’t think I planted my foot correctly and lost balance. Embarrassing for sure because, despite its size and height, it’s actually a pretty easy bike to ride. I do miss my Scrambler though. Smaller bikes are more fun IMO.

@@sriavula for real!

@@triprack thank you sir! I hope the seat works well for you!

@@-newhope7687 I disagree

@@sgtfixer عزيزي دراجتك ثقيلة وانت لا تستطيع حملها عندما تسقط وانا انصحك وانت حر

@@-newhope7687 not going to go into the effort of trying to translate. Type in English please.

@@valebliz I think it’s perfect. Yes it’s a bit big, but it carries its weight very well. I’m 5’11” with a 32” inseam and can flat foot on it. I just made a careless mistake while “white zoning”. A good lesson to learn. I do agree that smaller bikes are more fun. My previous bike was a scrambler and it was a fantastic bike, especially for riding around town. I wanted to do more touring so hence, enter the Multi.

@@sgtfixer yeah I switched to a crossover too, I tour and I often ride with a pillion. Still I wish I could afford to add something like a 765rs or a mt09 SP as a second bike just to have fun.

@@valebliz I totally agree! I’d love to have an mt09. I loved my fz07 I had years ago. Talk about the ultimate city bike. Super fun, plenty of power and very reliable. I occasionally ride with a pillion as well, a secondary reason I got the Multi. The Scram just wasn’t cutting it in that department.

@@aminfamily6716 nice tips. I don’t really have trouble with its size or weight, even when my girlfriend rides with me. This whole accident was really strange. I feel like I just didn’t have good balance at that moment, partially because I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for the nice comment.

@@CarlosSilva-wn8qq thanks brother. Nice, how do you like your Pikes? Love mine. It’s so much more bike than I’ll ever need. I’ve owned it for three months and still discover things about it. I think the oil was from the bleeder. Haven’t seen any oil anywhere since the drop. Rode it for about an hour the other night and didn’t have any issues. Rode like the dream bike it is! 😉

You've made some ignorant assumptions in your comment and Harley's aren't my style. I like them, just not my style.

@@sgtfixer I mean an experienced rider that has some courses under their belt wouldn't slam the front brake, and ride so cautiously everywhere, you looked about 20 times before you pulled away from the stop sign and you used improper technique to pick the bike up which for someone your age could throw your back and send you to the ER...

@@Waldo1122 I think anyone who swings a leg should be continuously training, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being cautious. I do agree on the lifting technique, tried it the right way and was a no go, so I need to work on my legs a bit more.

Trainer wheels required here I think !!

@@Millektm preposterous my good man! They don’t make trainers that large! Hahaha 😂

No

You can clearly see the fork was not turned.

@@sonyafunk8909 actually it wasn’t. Just a handful of brake and poor balance at that moment.

@@hugopnabais correct

@@somebodybody6514 now listen here sonny boy, you wouldn’t be trying to make fun of a geriatric now would you? 🤭

Nah, I like this beast. Although, I am in the market for a Honda Grom if you're interested in investing.

@@sgtfixerlove those Honda groms.

@@mik3ymomo they’re so cool!

Silly mistake. I think I just lost balance. It doesn't appear I had the fork turned, but I know I gave it a handful of brake. Felt like a dummy! Lol

@@sgtfixer That's the thing w the Multi, they are tall & top heavy, and once she starts to go, she's gone. This is why I sold mine, Too Big, To tall, To expensive, To wide, To heavy.....and who really needs 178HP.

I was backpedaling mine out of the driveway, like I had 20 other bikes, and she started to lean & there was just no stopping her. Also, at 5'8 140lbs, I knew right then I would never buy another bike I couldn't pick up off the ground. I traded her in for a 23 BMW F900XR, and it's been a better fit for me..

@@efish8147 me, I do! 😂

@@efish8147 I see your point for sure. My precious bike was a Ducati Scrambler and honestly, more my style and a helluva fun. The multi is a heavy, tall bike. I think that’s just part of the challenge for me. It’s hard for me to look at something, anything and accept defeat.

@@michaeledwardlenzi oh it’s so frustrating! Thanks for the kind words. Gymkhana you say? You have some serious skills my friend!

True!

@@RogersMotorcycleAdventures I actually have them in my cart.

@@sgtfixer another classic mistake bro, buying frame sliders after you dropped your bike

@@tripleniine eh, not really. No one really buys a bike expecting to drop it.

@@sgtfixer Everyone that buys an adventure bike expects to drop it hence just about every Multistrada owner has crash bars on them...

Don’t beat yourself up on this. It can happen. At 6:19, you touch what appears to be plastic venting. It appears to be dual purpose drop protection/venting. You may consider checking the price to replace the venting should you ever need to, if less than sliders? Just a thought. Congrats! Beautiful bike! I’m enjoying the 1260 MTS at the moment.

Lmao

@@TheJohnboyr my car is older so I had never experienced. Was very surprised at how good it works on this motorcycle.

Guten Tag, mein freund! I think that's what I love most about riding. It forces you to focus on the immediate moment. If you are not, it could be your life. There isn't a lot of space to do otherwise. I think you are right, the danger it is part of the magic. Thanks for the kind comment. I did a follow up to this video's thoughts, but, alas, my camera battery was dead, so it didn't record anything. Stay tuned.

It’s quite exhilarating!

Good point!

Yes! Chigee AIO-5 Lite

Good eye! Yes it is the GT screen. It works pretty well. I’m 5’11” and the seat is the heated seat in the low position. In the lowest position, wind is just at the top of my head. It’s perfect for 50mph and below. In the high position, it’s pushing air over my head. I’ve been happy with it.

@@sgtfixer awesome, thanks. I'm deciding between the Pikes Peak and the 1300 GS, and the GS has the best wind protection I've ever experienced on a motorcycle. I have tinnitus, so that's important to me. I really like to Granturismo engine better, though, so I'm hoping the GT windscreen gives me close to the same protection.

@@RogersMotorcycleAdventures I’ve never ridden the GS so I can’t speak to its wind protection. I’m coming from a Ducati scrambler which had no protection. So, the PP is a massive step up for me 😂.

Thank you for the kind words!
