Think I can put my hand up to being **** of the week #2!

Working on my new monster today, fitting high level cans I had to undo the footrest bolts on both sides as you have to fit spacers.

What I didn't realise and no one told me was one of the LHS footrest bolts also secures the sidestand mechanism in place so as I undid the last bolt the sidestand slipped forward and bike landed on top of me!

As I was sitting on the floor at the time I cushioned the blow. With no one around to help me I somehow found some super human strength to lift the bike off me I then discovered I had snapped the footrest.

I've only had the bike 6 days! DOH!
