I'd just arrived back from a fantastic Winter's evening rideout on my GSXR600 and rode the bike onto my driveway which is on a very slight, barely noticeable downhill slope. I got off the bike and caught my trailing foot on the seat hump. That's all it took for the bike to very slowly inch forward and topple slowly off it's stand onto nextdoor's grass verge and flower-bed. I picked the bike up on pure adrenalin only to find a scratched side fairing, stickers and engine casing. Expensive! I still park on my drive but always leave it in gear just in case.

There is nothing like doing it in front of an audience !!

My little disc lock bit ( mentioned earlier ) was back in 1997 along the prom between Boscombe and Bournemouth piers on a balmy summers evening...... not that many students and people on the beach then..
