[QUOTE="Potential, post: 517991, member: 16318"] I've dropped the bike twice in my garage in the space of one minute. I was trying to get it on the centerstand (something I still have never successfully done) when it fell away from me (onto its right side) and of course I couldn't stop it. So I made sure the sidestand was still extended and lifted it back up, then checked again to make sure the side stand hadn't folded up, then slowly leaned it away from me onto its left side. Only the side stand folded up as soon as it touched the ground and the bike fell onto its left side! Stupid side stand. Luckily the only damage from both crashes was a heavily scratched windshield (which I'd replace with an aftermarket anyway), a scratch on the right-side mirror, and one or two very small scratches/scuffs on the lower part of the fairing on the right.
