what gives?

Riding two-up this weekend, and my gearbox popped out of 1st and into neutral!??  That has never happened to me before.  Engine, was warm only (not cold, not hot).

Thoughts?

Just the 1 time ? If so it probably wasn't fully engaged in first. I've done it before.

Seems to happen fairly often on bikes with heel/toe shifters, so it's probably a failure to fully engage.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

It didn't hurt anything ? Hasn't happened since ? No big deal, happens if not fully in gear.
