First really good blast of the year, grounded out the sidestand twice.. which was as a bit odd because i wasnt really hanging one on... When i stopped.. i flicked down the stand and swung my leg ... lowering the bike onto the stand as usual, it just kept going.. caught me off balance... next minute bike is on its side on the floor!!!! picked it up and got it on a paddock stand, the sidestand is completely snapped in half!!! luckily my crash bung/bar end took all weight.. a few mark on my side panel... but not life threatening..
I know someone on here was modding Gixer side stands...
I need something
all help gratefully accepted.. i was trying out my new camera setup from www.4kam.com.. so, i thought at least i will have it on film.... nope, didnt shut the battery cover correctly... lmao
What a day.. to add insult to injury.. my favourite road was shut
:angry
 
bad day dude.

Why is everyone crashing/dropping recently? Think i'll leave mine in the garage for a bit!!!
 
Just a theory...but people may have had some time off over winter, and drivers been seeing less bikes on roads over winter, so they're less aware at the moment?
 
how the hll did you get the side stand down...:eek:

Note to self..must try harder..:biggrin
