So this just happened, I came to a four way stop and apparently it was my turn and I forgot I was still in 6th gear, but I saw it and tried to down shift as fast as I could and man was it not doing it.
It went to 5th then blank and as much as I push down on the pedal it wasn't going down anymore.  I tried to let it roll and then it drop to 4th and finally got it to 1st.  The panic set in though and I let off the clutch too fast and I did this weird chicken head being thrown back thing as it jerked hard forward into the middle of the road and stalled.  
 
I got it restarted and rode off as fast as I can, how embarrassing!  I got further down and started laughing at my stupidity.  I didn't know it wouldn't shift if I'm just stationary.
 
Who has had this experience before?

late to this but it happens. When it does just let the clutch out a little and push down and it will get into the next gear. It happened on my old Honda twinstar.The first time freaked me out.
