Who will admit to......parking facing downhill and then not being able to budge the bike backwards?
(Or anything else equally embarrassing)

Went to get some petrol, was the first time that year I was in leathers rather than textiles, I went to put my side stand down only because my leathers didn't slide on the saddle as well as textiles (muscle memory from riding all winter in textiles) I managed to not put the stand fully down.


Felt bike falling over, I just had to lay her down as gently as possible while feeling such a twat!!


"It's ok everyone, I get more petrol in the tank when she's on her side....honest!"

I had the bike on the centre stand facing slightly uphill then loaded all my camping gear (kitchen sink).When i tried to push it off the centre stand it wouldnt budge had to get a bloke to give me a push  .

Surely you're risking the bike anyway because it could roll forwards off the sidestand, or even the centre stand?

Not resting against a kerb.,,

Gotcha.


Been for a long walk around the shops before then come back to see my ignition key hanging out the side of the seat lock barrel.
And also ridden the whole way home with my house, work, garage, etc, keys hanging out the back of my top box!

year ago converted my paddock stand to hooks and bobbins but put the hooks on the wrong way round .................crash

Didn't have to seek help but got a sweat on,,.,...it doesn't have to be steep to make it tough!

[chaz]

often park the FZ6 onto the kerb, being tall I can sit on it and even bounce it out using the front brake but sometimes do it on the MT-01, sh*t?

Hi

Setting the scene.....
Back in my youth : I had recently moved up from a James Captain (Sports) to a BSA Rocket Goldstar Clubman
I cannot push a Bike from the right-hand side
In the back pocket of my jeans I had a comb made of Aluminium

I stopped a Petrol station, the forecourt had a steep slope away from the pumps
I stopped at the first pump, but it wasn't 4Star petrol, so I started pushing the bike on the right-hand side to the next pump
The bike started to go away from me, I was hanging on with both hands on the twist grip
It finally went, throwing me over the top like a wrestler in a WWW wrestling bout
When I landed I was in agony !!! some how the comb had twisted in my back pocket and it's teeth had been driven full depth into my backside
I was in agony tying to get the comb's teeth out of my buttock and to top it off everybody in the petrol station was pissing themselves with laughing
