Right then fellas, remember this one.
Set out for work at 5.30am with bugger all on roads. Came to a T junction in town, bit of an angle so you have to stop. Put my right foot down....... onto a drain grate and slowly dropped the mighty Tiger as my foot slid across the grate. Was a bit like watching the Titanic go down......bollox, feck & arse!!!!
Got up, kicked myself around the street for a minute then went to pick bike up. At about 240kg, it's a bit of a lump so a heave, puffing n panting, swearing "get up ya bitch"...heaving and grunting like a hill billy having a wank eventually up it comes to a point where I held it one handed to let it go down onto the side stand..........only I'd forgotten to put the feckin side stand down :wall . Yep......twwwwwwwwat!!!
Down it goes again on the other side and off I go kicking my arse round the street again swearing like a pikey :lol :lol
Got it back up eventually and had a fag to get me breath back (I know, Irish isn't it).
So had a look and what would've been 1 bar end and a bent rear brake lever turned ito 2 bar ends off, bent brake and clutch lever and a broken indicator.
It's been probably 10 years since I last dropped a bike and all because you forget the friggin side stand :rolleyes :rolleyes .
Feel free to take the piss - not that you lot need an invite :lol

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
