Just tried Googling this as i was sure there'd be an obvious answer but nope!

This goes against us sometimes in this country as the side of the road sometimes has a steep dip into the gutter. I was nearly caught out by this a while back when i moved the bike up to let an old lady park behind me and when i leant the bike back over, the stand skidded into the gutter and the bike dropped.

Luckily with the SV being a wee thing i was able to leap in and catch it as it fell and stopped it just before hitting the deck but if i'd have been riding a ZZR 1400......!
