    So, a few weeks ago I wheeled her out of the garage (on level ground), put the side stand down, turned around to close the door, only to hear a crunch... Turned around to see her laying on her side :scream:

    Bent gear change
    Bent bar end mirror, scuffed endcap
    Snapped clutch lever
    Dented/Scraped V&H exhaust
    Scratched lower engine case & badge
    2x Scuffed indicators
    Scratched Tail light
    Scratched seat hump

    To this day I have no idea...
    1. What exactly happened - I guess I didn't get the stand down fully ?!? o_O
    2. How on earth the top of the tail light & seat hump got such damage... It must have bounced & rolled !?! :confounded:

    Did exactly the same with a sprint I once had. And like you don't in the world know what happened. And same thing cost a fortune to put right again. Don't beat your self up over it. I am sure something similar has happened to us all.
    Regards

    Cheers guys, it's only money o_O
    Trying not to laugh at your 'incident' DD :p

    To add to the amusement / frustration / incompetence... I thought I'd snagged a mint, used bargain... Thruxton seat hump in white on eBay, only to get it & find it's a different bloody white!! :rolleyes:

    In better days, with matching seat hump...
