after almost 4 years of being careful i dropped my bike. i took it off of the center stand this morning - rolled it outside and let it go left to rest on the side stand .....with the stand not deployed!!!! of course i could not hold it up so i let her go down...the only damage is the plastic cover and some small scratches on my side bag. this is one heavy bike to get back up! i put my butt in the seat facing away from the bike - grabbed the left bar and the holder for grabbing on to for when getting it on the center stand and gave it the old heave ho and managed to get it up without pushing it over to the right side. and so started my day!
