Thunderbird Down

Get yourself some engine bars - stops it falling horizontally. Check bars and securing bolts, then anything obvious.

 

You will find them invaluable not only protection but also to pick up.

 

Mainly fluid levels need checking. If you left it on its side long enough, you might get some oil in the bores, but do no harm, bit of smoke on start up.
Brake fluid reservoirs can leak, just clean up any leaks, make a mess of paint if it has leaked.

It happens to us all.

 

What, the wife?

The most embarrassing drop I did was in 1982 6 miles outbound to France with girlfriend on back of a 900 six cylinder Benelli sei. Hauled on the very good anchors to let a late zebra crossing wrinkly to pass. Girlfriend rode forwards as did I onto petrol tank. Too high for a 31” instep and dropped it.
Was a whole load of pensioners who helped lift it off me

 

@Steve822 I take it there was no permanent damage done mate

 

Unlucky mate......

 

Dropped mine recently at a junction. Bus came too quickly along the road so I had to stop suddenly and over she went in slow motion. Leg was stuck underneath but a group of people helped pick me up. Last time I fell over was when I was on a motorcycle lesson as a learner and the nice car behind felt the need to beep me . This time I bent a clutch lever and pedal but paintwork seemed thankfully ok. Anybody know where I can get black mirrors and black brake and clutch levers for a 2017 Storm 1700cc?
