Hi
Dropped my 2012 orange L2 in a layby in October, did not get away with it, Had to buy a new headlamp unit, not something I want to do too often, very expensive.
Reminds me of when I was riding an very old BMW in western USA, and need a 'jimmy', and as it was very hot, I needed a layby with a bit of shade.
Spotted a beautiful layby with tarmac, just the ticket!
Bike on centre-stand, and I got beside the bike, in the hope of not frightening any passers-by, but did not noticed that one of the centre-stand feet was sinking in the hot tarmac!
Stop laughing at the back there, because as the foot sank into the tarmac the bike started to push hard against my back, and my front got pinned against the Armco barrier in front of me!!!!
So there I was trying to finish off, and not get my best mate crushed on the steelwork, whilst trying to hold the bike upright with my bum. There was no one around and I was on my own, and I finally, after awhile, I could turn around and support the bike.
I saw the funny side, and laughed for quite some time, but another motorist arrived, so trying not to look like an idiot, laughing on my own, I saddled up and moved on, still chuckling as I went.
Cheers
