Litterally dropped the FZ1 today ... not crashed, dropped :iamwithstupid:
Thank GOD I spent the $50 bucks and bought T-Rex sliders on eBay when she was new and thankfully the only visible damage is a slight scuff on the slider itself!
With an unusally warm day I was all excited to take a quick spin so I dropped the stand down, started her up to warm the engine and turned to grab my helmet... Unfortunately, my drive way has a slight decline and it was just enough to vibrate forward on the side stand..doh! Lucky I was right there to grab the seat rail and eased her down but if it were not for my trusty sliders this could have really been embarrasing!!!!
So all you newbies out there (or lazy seasoned veterans), go get yourself some sliders and be more careful using those side stands
