Rode the bike to work today... wind pushed it over in the parking lot. :down:

I set it upright and started it after about 5 minutes (don't know the guidelines on how long you should let fluids settle). No smells or smoke, so I think it's ok.

Initial inspection revealed cracked fairings and scuffed up exhaust.

I'll post the damage pics when (if) I get home tonight.

If you're out there today, be careful.

I used to live in the midwest where that was a regular occurrence. We learned to always park with your kickstand downwind.
