Unhappy Blown over

I write this post not in the search for sympathy but to make you all aware.

The other night I got a puncture on my way home and due to riding with ear plugs in didnt hear the gentle hiss of air leaking from my rear tyre when I parked up and put the cover on at home.

The next day we had high winds so took the car to work. As I drove home and dodged my way round the blown out fence pannels I was shocked to find by bike on its side!

All I can think of is that the lack of air in the back tyre made the bike wobbly and the wind getting in the cover pulled my bike over.

On inital inspection all I can see is a small slight scuff on the side of the exhaust and abviously the need for a new rear tyre.

Just out of interest has any one ever had their bike blown over before? flat tyre or not...???...
