I feel for you.
Once I parked my new Runner VX on fresh patch of asphalt, it was sunny and very warm. The one side of the double stand sank into the asphalt and the runner just tipped over.

Easy steps to avoid this:

- Buy new scooter
- admire it's pristine condition
- wheel it outside the shop
- let it down gently, give it a bit of a push about once down
- *presto* no more concern about that first scratch, or being overly paranoid about dropping it

I feckin hate the wind, very hairy in the 50 mph section of the M6 last night, it was coming from every angle and with the narrow lanes made for an interesting run home.

as hgv driver with a double decker empty trailer on rocking rolling all the way home from Bradford kept me awake

I paid £500 for my Helix it slid down drive on its side stand fell over on the pavement neighbour came knocked the door "I think some ones tried to pinch your scooter" picked it up pushed it back up couple of slight scratches bother me one bit adds character I think

Most people keep there bike in a shed, Pikey keeps riding a shed

Sorry to hear about your Burger G

sorry to hear this gerrard, every biker/scooterist nightmare.

It was absolutely mint condition.

Scratches down the left hand leg shields and its smashed the extra large Givi Screen.

Oh bugger....sorry. My Baby Burger 200 managed to fall off its side stand a while back, even when it wasn't windy, so maybe there is some potential issue with the sidestand. Yes mine had scratches on the left hand side, and put a crack in my Givi screen! Annoying as the first day I had it, it fell off the centre stand (on uneven ground) and put scratches on the Right Hand side, and broke the screen, so I put a new screen on, and I've now cracked that!!!! There again, mine is used for the commute so its intended mostly as the sacrificial victim in the salt to keep the TMax reasonably pristine, so its only an irritation for me not a total piss off.
There again...my burger got blown off its Centrestand the other week! Fortunately fell against a cycle rack, with no damage.

my pcx was outside all day

never blew over

also not sure why gn2 can only get 62.5 mph out of his i get a lot more then that
or is that actual speed rather then clock

Sorry to hear it fell over Gerard. It's a bugger when that happens. Feel for you. But...it'll be good as new when it's been through the body shop! Chin up!
