Well would you believe it! Paked the bike next to the car on the gentlest of slopes, kicked the sidestand down and jumped off! Then I watched in horror as the bike rolled forward slightly knocking the stand back up then CRASHED into the door of the car. Nasty expensive dent there now. Crying or Very sad

Just wondering how many people have trashed their bike (or car as in my case) by doing something so daft

Nope, although yes, probably dented the car when I left my disc lock on and proceeded to drop bike onto/close to car.

Did you hang about or leave details or do a runner? Twisted Evil

Least you told me mate, pisses me off when people scratch or drop your bike and don't even say sorry.

    Of all the bits of advice I've seen on the forum, that's the one that's made the most difference to my riding so far. I'd been riding for 15 years and had never figured that out until somebody pointed that out on here Embarassed
