Remember being up an alpine pass when a photo opportunity presented itself. Got off the bike and fished the camera out of luggage and started snapping away.
It was a gen1 thou and had dog bones fitted to raise the back so it lent over a bit more on the side stand.
Due to the slope of the road the bike rolled forward and took itself off the stand, it was at this point I saw it out of the corner of my eye and managed to catch it before disaster struck.
Phew, then 15 minutes later I dropped the fucking thing turning round on a gravely layby. :o
