dumped the new bike in the garage, chock your wheels.
 

was doing this exhaust mod i was reading about on the volusia riders forum and while i was doing it the bike rolled forward about a inch and there went the kick stand. plop right on its side. .

damage report.

i got a scratch on my front fender and one on my mirror and that's about it. i call that pure luck. too bad a little bit of bad luck came before the good luck..


i guess i should have chocked the wheel since was messing with the bike.

Add that one to your other thread...

You can also put a thick rubber band or velcro strap around the front brake lever to hold it still.

that's a good idea too.

After my bike ran forward off the stand (even though it was in gear!) on a hill, shortly after I got it, I ALWAYS carry a velcro strap round the mirror arm, so I can grab it quickly, & put it round the brake lever. Steep hills are a way of life over here, so the velcro's saved a lot more damage to the bike. :)

i still cant believe the nothing really happened to the bike, i think most of the weight was setting on the seat and the clutch lever i guess that big wide seat came in handy. it sticks out over the side of the bike. i was out there for a while trying to find any thing else that got messed up from the fall.
