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. :'(
Bludy hell yiur about the 3rd foccer to have dropped their bike on as many weeks. 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 haha
Joking aside I hope ya get it sorted and aren't too broken in the morning ?

It was just a moment's carelessness this morning, must be the 5th time I've dropped it while standing next to it… as opposed to once while actually riding. Still, I suppose that only averages out at about once every 3 years or 30-odd thousand miles.
Ordered a replacement mirror from M&P as soon as I got too work… riding on the motorway without one on the RHS is nerve-wracking!
