Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later, I got too confident.
Putting bike on rear stand this morning to give it a bath, missed theright hand side spool, and before I knew it, the bike was down.
Anyway, I managed to lift her up, and place on side stand again. Checked for damage, nothing too bad, just a few more scratches on the fairing and a broken indicator lens.
And yes, I did manage to get it on the stand eventually, and gave it a wash.

Well, after riding out to QR today, and pulling in at Brett's for a coffee on way home, found my front brake light switch was sticking on. Removed front brake lever, and found a small crack, right near the pivot point. Fortunately, I had a spare lever, put this on, and the brake light switch is back to normal

As an aside: Murphy's law states that any new motorcycle will receive a scratch or other blemish in approximately one nanosecond of ownership
