Not too bad. Still frustrating when it happens though

my spider stands ok as its got a damper. but no way to get to the swinging arm like the adapter you have for your sv

the embarrassing part is though i had to get folk to take the bike out the carpark just in case i done it again. thank you, you know who you are.

S'alright I dropped my Sv the other day too and I'm not concentrated like you Bib.

Didn't put the side stand down properly at the petrol station, I need to ride it more often.

Maybe slightly more embarrassing
Doing a U turn on the daytona and dropping it infront of 30 people and neding 2 to lift it of you

Nearly had my first drop last night. Waiting to turn right at a steep sloping junction with my wife onboard. Luckily she has long legs and managed to plant her right foot on the road and helped me take the weight. Thankfully no one around to ridicule me.

fitted heated grips that i have had lying around for ages. its not cold enough at night for my heated gloves but my fingers are getting cold so it was on with the grips. i wont use them much but they are now there if i need them

Fitted a tutoro auto, couldn't really figure out how to hide it but it looks kind of neat tucked in behind the RH Front Foot Rest Guard (part no. 43576-19F00 - I had to look it up to know what to call it). If I see anywhere better to put it I may move it, for the moment it's fine.
