OK, so I came home to see my baby on her side yesterday.

My driveway gave out to the kickstand. I got a couple scratches on the alternator cover and a cracked fairing near the left front directional.

Aaaaargggg!!!!

The parts aren't that costly and can be in in a coupl'a days. Then I'll be back to stock

 

Ouch!! That must've hurt!

Sorry to hear that...get well soon!

 

**** dude that sucks, I almost had the same thing happen in my parking lot when they paved it, I got a piece of diamaond plate to put under the stand.

 

****acular!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yea - I always have my plate under it, and the other day I came home and totally didn't bother, thinkin, I'll be back out after. Then the next day it rained and, well, the rest is history.

This just opens up the door for some real toys to be added when I get my parts, like some flush mount directionals, tinted screen, and fender eliminator.

 

it happens...


When I opened this thread I was expecting to see something similar to my first mods on my 1000RR

 

I know you must feel awful about that....but for what it's worth....it happens to alot of us. I had my Ducati 748 fall over right in the dealer's lot on soft tar.....cost me over $1400 to repair and replace the entire front fairing. Again happened to me with my old Gixxer.

Now I ALWAYS travel with a 1/2 inch think 4x4 inch block of ironwood (very heavy wood) either in my jacket or under the rear set and I never park it without shoving this under the stand...

 

Yup I've got something similar

 

sorry to hear about that. i hope i never come home to my bike on its side.

 

Hey thanks. I've had 2 other bikes before and never had it happen, just kinda blanked after parking my new ride - at my new house, so I guess I'm just not in the habbit. I will be now!
