StubyDoo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I've just dropped the bike off the ramp due to the side stand being down and pushing it over. I couldn't hold the weight and over she went. I've got off very lightly with only a broken mirror which will be £40 on eBay to replace. The mirror landed on the ladders which were against the wall and took all the force so the tank and fairings are undamaged. Lesson learnt, lift the side stand when taking off the ramp.

Member Contributer lazyeye Posted September 2, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2017 That's a shame. Last weekend I dropped mine in the driveway while backing out to leave on a trip. The clutch lever snapped off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
