    ....as a bike slowly topples away from one.

    I was trying to sort a slightly leaky front tyre valve. I had the
    front of the Tuono out of the garage, so the bike was standing more
    upright than normal on its sidestand. I started letting the air out
    of the tyre and it just fell away as I kneeling beside it.

    Fortunately there was no obvious damage. Pre-disastered bikes rock!

    Or when you ride out of the shed and misjudge just how much of a dip
    there is and catch the bottom of the fairing as the front wheel drops.
    Looks like a couple of extra screws and a handleful of cataloy is
    required. All because I was running late and couldn't be arsed
    dragging the paving slab I use to create a flat rideout surface over.
    One of these days I'll need to finish off the front of the shed so it
    doesn't resemble the Basra road.

    That's me.

    I just reread my initial post; I reckon s.t could've made a better job
    of it.
