[QUOTE="YummYam, post: 1283095, member: 28551"] Reading all your posts makes me feel better about my age induced stoopidity. Was on the bike in the garage, engine off, maneuvering backwards like I do everytime I put her to bed, gear and helmet on still. Once in position, the routine is, kickstand down, get off and haul onto CS. Only this time I was looking over my left shoulder at how close the Givi was to the door frame and actually LEANING TO THE LEFT AT THE SAME TIME!!! I wasn't braced or gripping tightly, no kickstand..............then gravity took over and threw me off as she crashed down on the concrete.No one around to help and car parked directly adjacent to bike. I'm sweating as I type this. Took several deep breaths, got a grip and very, very slowly got her upright. Had to stand there, not moving for a full minute before I could trust myself to move without falling over. [/QUOTE]
