Re: [ST] ouch
At least you decided it wasn't worth hurting yourself. Me, I didn't and I did.
I decided to force a gentle lay down while straddling it, and I did, at the expense of my back.
But then picking it back up ended up stratching the fairing anyway :-(
Oh well.

Hm, done that, too. Sitting on the bike, showing it to a friend and
forgetting to kick the sidestand out. When I stood up, I expected it to stop
leaning, but it wouldn't. After grunting and moaning, trying to keep it
upright I thought it wasn't worth injuring myself and let it go. Some
scratches on the fairing, a bent gear shifter, the majority of the weight
was held up by the hard case (on the black underside where you hardly notice
it) Conclusion: If sitting on bike first switch brain on, then bike.
