...but it blew my baby burger clean off its centre stand!!! Fortunately, it didn't fall completely over, just against a railing nearby.
It ought to have been protected from the wind as its parked in a hollow, but there must have been some mega eddy through a passage alongside the building! Or since it happened minutes after I put a bag of groceries in the topbox, maybe the extra weight is critical for stability!!!!

Bloody hell

I always thought scoots would be less vulnerable to that because of the low centre of gravity and relatively high weight

I guess its not as stable on the centre stand as you think. If you take your scoot on a ferry, they always put it on the sidestand, not the centrestand, and tie it down.

must have been all the arrows in the "Scouse weather forecast" topic

Blimey i knew the wind yesterday was strong but not strong enough to blow the burger over.

Grumpy, have you told the police about 'mega eddy'. What a barsteward to have pushed your bike over!! Hope she wasn't damaged.

Well, you get so many weird characters round here, the police can't arrest everyone! No apparent damage - it didn't go fully down just toppled 30 degrees on a cycle rack rail.

Baby burger (200)..not the whopper. If the wind blew a 650 Burger over, it'd be the apocalypse!

Very good, very pleased she wasn't damaged.

Must be a Burger thing, Rocket had his newly wrapped B650 blown over.
