Flatmate called me downstairs this morning to inform me that my bike was on its side. Bastard winds last night could have forced it to be knocked over, but due it falling on the kickstand side I have a suspicion it may have been drunken cunts being dicks. No CCTV in our carpark though.
Front fairing, air intake and left fairing are smashed to ker-buggery, so I told flatmate he could have my right fairing, get it resprayed and use it to replace the fairing I wrecked on his TT when I came off it (no he didn't smash my bike as revenge, we were both in living room last night recovering).

I was JUST away to take pics and put the bastard up on gumtree as well.

spring loaded side stand?

If so, they can spring up if wind lifts the weight off it. Not sure if yours has one though

The only time wind has thrown my bike over is when I have been stupid enough to leave the cover on when its windy.

Or on a Friday and Saturday night sometime between 1am and 7am.... Im not sure why the wind chooses to blow my bike over Fridays and Saturdays but I jolly well wish it wouldn't....
