We've all done it. I dropped mine pulling up to a T junction in Epping Forest. Went to put my foot down and there was a big dip. As I had a big expensive chunk of titanium in my arm at the time I decided it would be cheaper to let the bike go than rip the plate out of my elbow - again! So £78 for a new gear changer as opposed to £7500 for another elbow op - bargain!

Crash bungs are your friend.

(Now I wonder if Christopher will come on here and admit that at AR this year he parked his bike like Jeremy Clarkson parks a scooter - i.e. without bothering with the stand)
