Couldn't believe it. The guy was very apologetic but I went mental nonetheless. It landed on the throttle and lay there on it's side bouncing off the limiter. Cringe. With my little can I think it must have been heard a mile away.

Luckily the bike is such a shed already that no damage was noticeable except that the tip of my brake lever snapped off. Hopefully I shut the engine off before any damage was done there.

What is wrong with people? Seriously. The only reason I didn't punch the guy in the face was cos he had glasses on.

Won't have done any engine dammage I can pretty much guarentee that. We have rev limiters, and even if the oil pickup was left dry for a few seconds the engine's already hot and lubricated. Don't make a habit of it though ;)

Frustrating I know, but we all make mistakes.
