wind!!
 
well me and two of my friends went for a ride yesterday, we went to eat after a little riding, it was pretty windy that day, about 30 35 mph winds, well we pulled up to arby's and the three of us shared a parking stall, we when we were walking in we all heard a crash, turned around, my bike fell over because of the wind, and tipped into my buddys 07 zx6, he had just did a bunch of work to his bike, including frame slidders, well they didnt really come into use because his bike fell onto a parking block... be careful on windy days and which way you park it, now i have to replace right fairing, brake lever, right side mirror... and really scratched the stock exhaust, guess it gives me a reason to buy a new one :Dride safe and watch the wind!!

good advice. i'm assuming it's best to park INTO the wind? might as well put the aerodynamic properties of a sport bike to good use.

Yowzers! Something i would never have even expected. If the bike was lowered and the kickstand wasn't modified i could see that happening. Anyways good reason to get a new exhaust, I'm thinking 2Bros.

that's big damage from a tip-over. Are you really going to REPLACE them all? You must be doing well financially.

no my bike isnt lowered just a bad spot in the parking lot, it was lowered then i raised it back to stock height, i just need a new right side fairing, right side mirror, and i found my old brake lever, just sprayed it black to match the clutch lever easy and very cheap
