Default MY BIKE FELL OVER!!!

Alright so i park my bike in the warehouse at work and it looks something like this...
when i leave work i have to pull my bike out into the parking lot go back into the warehouse close and lock the garage door then exit through the warehouse enterance.
so after i pulled my bike out and closed the garagre door i heard a loud crunch! i ran outside and saw something to this effect
Ok maybe thats a little extreme but my rear fairing is all scratched along with my clutch cover and frame slider. but to top that all off my helmet was resting on my mirror and fu**ed it all up. ill post some pics later.

DOH!

How'd it drop? Did the kickstand retract?

Great, detailed pics. I can see the anguish from the look on your face.

If my bike fell over I sure couldn't make some pictures displaying the damage.


Well remember there are only 2 types of riders...

Wait that was for crashes.

my bike fell over b/c there is a slight decline where i pull the bike out, this wouldnt have been a problem but the parking lot was recently paved and it was still a little soft because of the Arizona heat.......then the kick stand retracted....i dont know if i can give anymore detail without getting too emotional. sorry

It could be coolant that came out when the bike tipped over, not necessarily a crack somewhere.

I had coolant coming out of crevices for a few days. If it keeps up, then definitely check over your bike. Coolant doesn't leak from the rads only. Could be a loose hose (unlikely).

Clean....what? $170 just to replace your air filter and wipe any excess gas (if there is any left) in your airbox???

Time to get in the stealership business, methinks.
