...setting the bike up on the abba lift, it was on it's sidestand, I needed it forwards a few inches to line up, so being on the right hand side, i pulled it towards me, and rolled it forwards, unknown to me, the stand had flipped up...I then let the bike go to rest onto said sidestand (which is now incoveniently in the up position) the bike topples over away from me....blast!...in an effort to try to stop a heavy fall I just grabbed the first part of the bike that I could....the f/brake resivoir...the bracket snapped off in my hands....but luckily that appears to be the only damage.

now, those that know me well will testify that I hardly ever swear .....but during this fiasco, Mrs Tifa said she could hear my profanities from inside the house.... can't see it myself though....

PS...anyone got a bracket for supporting a front resivoir they want to sell ?? :yes pleease?
 
As squatepantz, unlucky tif man, could of been worse.

Ffs, get it fixed quick though & leave that Honda in the garage this summer!
 
One of them oh feckin **** moments T. Sounds like yer were sort of lucky....unlucky.
 
****** dude. One of my little paranoias so I ALWAYS check when letting the bike doon offa the lift.

Let me know if you need to widen your repertoire for Mrs. Tifa. I have some epithets that will broaden your horizons.
 
Tifa, I can hear the swearing from hear but it's also very funny - sorry!! :banghead
 
Patience is the key. Always check it is safe before you adj..

I thought these ABBA things were safe etc ?.
 
In a similar vein,my mate dropped his GSX600 while measuring up for a rad guard.The bike was on its sidestand in the garage with a block of wood to keep the bike more upright.As he turned the 'bars to get more access the bike rolled forward,came off the block,...and trapped him between the bike and his car.:laugh
His missus came out and heard a pathetic "help" from the garage.When she stopped laughing,she helped him move the bike.
Oh,and he put a lovely dent in the car where the handlebars hit.
