Parking up after arriving at work
Ohh! Hope the bikes not damaged to much :'(
I dropped mine back in the summer on my patio, like a complete prat I had washed, polished and waxed the old girl working bare foot on the patio whilst enjoying the warm summer sunshine, I had done the complete exhaust system with Autosol and there she stood in all her GLORY shining like the magnificent beast she is.
Went to wheel her back undercover and placed my heel on a small grit like stone (1/4"), :eek hurt like hell threw me off balance and the old girl got away from me, bike went over dragging me over the tank and fell against a very very large patio pot with a 'Acer Pheonix 'growing in it.
I almost cried, being an old fart I could not pick it back up, struggled in vane but let it fall again (This time only a few inches) but thought to my self that even more damage done.
Wife and daughter to the rescue, we got the FZS back on her stand and to my absolute amazement there was a small very fine scratch on the tank about 3/4" long.
The side of the seat had saved the bike from the ravages of the large plant pot, with no other damage done. not even a scuff in the seat material.
One very happy little bunny.
That is the first and last time I put the bike on or take it off the stand bare foot. :eek
