Once saw my GPz roll forward off it's sidestand and go crash.

No reason for this at all.

Either it was on a very slight slope or earthquake or ghosts.

I think it may have been ghosts.

Not a breeze in sight.

But lesson learnt...always leave the SV in gear. it won't roll now.

Sure was, picked the bike right up off the side stand and then blew it over onto the offside. If you've got a cover on it I would think it was the wind blowing against the cover like a sail.

Sucks dont it

Default Me too

Came home today to find mine on it's side but there was a note tucked into the rear wheel saying to call if there was any damage - there are still some decent people in this world.

Both indicators are smashed and the front fairing has a very slight crack right next to the headlight. Are these expensive repairs?
