    I've just dropped the TL during a routine oil/filter change.

    I'd rolled it back into the garage to get it level for a final oil
    level check, but obviously not far enough.

    Becaue of my postion to the right and slightly infront of the front
    cylinder, I didn't have the front brake applied as I pulled it
    upright. I must also have pulled it forward and it rolled over the lip
    at the entrance to the garage.

    Because of its forward momentum, the sidestand folded and it fell away
    from me, right against the doorpost and brickwork.

    There's now a scratched area on the top of the tank and a shallow dent
    about 3" by 2" in a location that suggests that somone with a
    prize-winning left bollock had an abrupt stop.

    On top of that, a cunningly placed jack has ripped the side of the
    seat.

    I fucking give up; this bike is going on ebay as is.

    I've got to get Adies bike off the paddock stand now I've done the
    head bearings, into the garage and back on the stand so I can remove
    the back wheel. I'm not going to take the piss until all of the above
    have been accomplished with no damage caused.
