Arse! Dropped it this morning when putting it on the centrestand.The surface was sloping away from me which always makes it awkward, full tank of fuel too making it a bit more top heavy. By the time I realised it was going over there was foc all I could do about it.RH mirror snapped off and indicator pushed through the fairing, plus a scrape to the tank. Plus something in my back gave a twinge so doubtless I'll be feeling that properly tomorrow.

Think I might leave mine in the garage for a week. Not to mention the price of mirrors and indicators is gonna go through the roof hahaJoking aside I hope ya get it sorted and aren't too broken in the morning 👍
That could be a new thread.....What side do you stand when wheeling your bike. I would only feel comfortable pushing a bike whilst on the left side. Standing to the right just seems so wrong. It also means you have to reach over and flip the sidestand with your hand.
Hi fazersharp,Your account just got me thinking about tasks we all take for granted, but in fact do differently. Just like wheeling a bike from whichever side is comfortable to the individual. Which side do you get on a bike.For me it's the left,but when you watch pit crew readying the bike for their rider, some jump on from the right others the left. I'm right handed but would fire a rifle or use a bow and arrow left handed..I'd shovel left handed as well, my right hand nearer the blade rather than on the handle. Just got me thinking that's all.
