So there I was backing the bike out of the garage on level ground, and before I knew what was happening the vee-strom was performing a excellent judo throw which ended up with me going over the bike and landing on my face on the ground.
Damage was cuts and bruises to my face, a very bruised hand and a destroyed front indicator. Had all the gear on except my helmet and gloves :-(
So for me, perhaps ATGATT means before I even touch the bike.
stay safe

PS have been riding bikes for 35 years and this is the first time I have dropped one getting out of the garage, but they have all been trail bikes (e.g. DRZ 400, and all much lighter than vee-strom). Also have made 550 skydives without so much as a twisted ankle.
