How to drop a bike with style

For some reason my bike wanted to have a nap & a lie down when I pulled in at 7-11 on the weekend.
Barely moving, dithering over which pump to head for & went to move around a car with a trailer when Tabitha fell.
I tried to save her but she was determined to lie down pinning my foot & lower leg underneath against the gutter.
The rest of me was lying in the garden bed.
Injured my pride & cracked the fairing
(just a little crack)

I put an avocado sized ding in the tank of the 10 lubing the chain (teach me for not using the proper stand!!!)
Just finished washing and polishing the farker too!!!

Pffft, you guys aren't doing it right. My last static fall cost Suncorp $4100. New front guard, new right mirror, new right can and a whole lot of Harlequin @ $1500/L.

My ankle is a bit tender today but nothing really.
Just makes you feel like a turkey.
Poor Tabitha doesn't deserve what I do to her.

Bugger Gayle!
The dent in the bike doesn't hurt as much as the dent in the pride does it.
Hope you are ok and that Tabitha is well again soon.
