I dropped my baby.
Unbelivable, we were at McDonalds in Fort William Scotland whilst on our NotaSToc run.
Peter was puling out of the car park into what I thought was a one way system due to the road markings the wrong way, I thought Peter had made a bad mistake. No, but because I was concentrating on him and trying to atract his attention with the horn, it was me that made the mistake. I had slowed to nearly a stop with the bars turned tight left. Then I got that ohh no feeling, the weight had got me. My ST was packed for camping top box full tank bag full panniers full. I put a foot down and held it, I knew it was too much I had to lay my pride and joy down. I stepped off.
These bike are just amazing, It lay there with nothing but the tip over cover touching the floor. I just grabbed the bars and lifting handle and heaved and up it went. The place was busy but no one said anything...I think they could tell from my face I wasn't in the mood for smart comments.
The damage is incidental a small rub and crack on the tip over cover and thats it.
I love my ST.
