Well after 3 years I yesterday dropped the bike on my drive. Started to go off on a ride, low speed right move off my drive and felt the bike going. Stationary and leant the bike down. Some slight scuffs to the mirror and lower fairing.The pannier helped, which did not get marked. Very lucky.

The bike just became unmanageable once I had gone and moved the front wheel too far. Lucky the old plod training allowed me to just gently lean the bike down. May invest in some bobbins, but last time I enquired they were a fortune.
