I am so Angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kwacker]

At myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dropped the bike yesterday!

I wasn't happy with it on the side stand so went to put it on the centre stand and over she went! Bastard!

Not too much damage few scratches, broken indicator, brake lever. But it doesn't make me feel any better!

You have my sympathy, Kwacker.

Had a brand new front paddock stand collapse on me a few weeks ago. Not too much damage to the firestorm but the scar on my left hand, for that is what the bike landed on, will be with me for life.

For comedy value the side stand collapsed a week ago and did the other side of the bike.

Being wise after the event is easy but crash bungs really are looking like a good investment to me now.

Don't feel so bad, happened to me with a FS1E once

Sorry to hear that, their bloody heavy to get back up as well!

I recently had my bike serviced and the garage dropped it!! They had to replace the whole front fairing,left exhaust and clutch lever, looks like new now though, he he.

Whenever I put mine on the main stand I leave it on the side one and put my foot on the main and push it to the floor, then straighten the bike up. With the main on the floor the bike won't fall over, then pull it up into position. Hope this helps.

Especially when you've removed both wheels before your new paddock stand collapses. Had to break out the engine hoist.
