We've all done it pal. Don't worry.
Crash bungs were the best things invented!
Glad the damage isn't too bad

OOPS! I think Bibio forgot to put the side stand down?

Sorry to hear that Bibio, like you said, we all do it. Fill up at the pump, get off to go and pay, oops, forgot the stand! At least you weren't under your bike. Material things can be replaced.

I think bibio forgot which side the stand was on?
Unless this isn't an sv the side stand should be on the left where as the front brake lever is on the right

Either that or the stand was way to long and not stable

nope i put the sidestand down...

but since my bike is about 2" lower than standard the bike sits up to straight when on the stand...

so down to the workshop next week to cut and weld the bugger...
