| I came home on a dark wet night, backed my ST onto the sloping pathway next to my barn, got off the bike and started to pull it up onto the centre stand. It usually comes up pretty easily because as I'm pulling the bike up onto it's stand the gravity of the slope helps.
This time, the wet sole of my boot slipped off the centre stand just before it came up over centre. I was only holding the left handlebar and the little grab handle that ST's have to get them on their stand, so the bike got away from me, ran backwards down the slope, down a couple of steps and fell over onto a load of rubble from a wall I'd just demolished. |
