Dropped it !! - SV650.org

Gave the front brakes a wee service today so took her out to make sure they were OK.

Got back.... did the old sidestand shuffle and down she went.

Spent the last couple of hours trying to bend back the main bracket holding the left hand lower. Radiatior very slightly kinked and a couple of scuffs to the left lower.

What a numpty I am.

Damn frustrating when that happens.

I presume it's all roadworthy now and no problem for GMII

We got back from a ride today to find the headlamp broken by a stone. New light is £300 plus apparently so bought some lens covers to keep the glass intact until after we get back.

I have it all back together again and taken it for a ride and all is good. Just embarrassingly annoying.

Hurt my ribs by either twisting myself when I dropped it or lifting it back up again...dunno which but I will survive.

Still.. I would far rather have a 0mph drop than one when moving. Don't like the moving ones.
