Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
The sidestand snapped whilst getting on the 748 this morning. Result - me rolling around in the mud and the bike on its side half on the path and half in the garden until I could grab a passer by to help me get it upright and back into the back yard and onto a paddock stand.
Scratched/gouged on lower and upper LH fairings and mirror. And the f**ker wouldn't even start afterwards ie: no whizzing from the fuel pump and not turning the starter motor - do these bikes have some sort of tilt switch?
Any ideas on this one my fellow, long suffering Ducati owners?
*edit* LMAO: - i've just remembered that i hit the kill switch when it was lying there, all pathetic like a wounded gazelle
