Picture the scene many years ago....Going to work on my old GS1000 fitted with twin headlamp endurance racing fairing and clip ons. Wind is blowing a gale ..literally . Stop at junction and before I can get me foot down the wind blows me and bike over.

I drag meself from under it and pick it upright while leaning it into the gale....wind drops and the bike now falls the other way with me on top.

Broken fairing...both sides
Dented tank.....both sides
Dented pride....inside

I can laugh about it now...honest
