Who knew a gust of wind could be so expensive? It is when it blows your bike over... Bent brake lever, smashed throttle and switchgear, mushed handgrip, scratched muffler.

Thank god it doesnt have fairings. Now I just get to go shopping for new switchgear. Grrr.

AKKK! damned wind!

Sorry about the tip-over. Were you on a slope, or was it just a hellacious gust? I don't suppose there's any way to shorten your sidestand short of shoving it into the asphalt.

It was on a slope... *D'oh* I thought it was a little precarious, so I gave it a wee shove, and it didnt tip, but of course as I walked away a big freak gust that almost knocked *me* down came along. Crunch.

All fixed now though, new switchgear, new handlebars, grips and bar-end weights. Credit card not happy though...
