Worst Luck EVER???
Do I have the worst luck ever? I was riding home from work last week, when I discovered that my rear tire was going flat. I pulled over and called AAA to send a flat bed to get me and the bike home. The truck came, and loaded my bike up, however halfway home on the interstate, the bike falls on its side. Thankfully it did not fall off the truck (for not only my bikes sake, but more importantly for other drivers on the road that night). One of the bosses of the wrecker company came and ensured me all damage would be paid for.
This comes about a month after I get my bike totally repaired from having a defective kickstand and fell on its side. It also comes 3 hours after putting a set of new mirrors. Damage included bent exhaust, mirror, brake lever, turn signal and rear brake master cylinder.

Last time I trailered my bike My kickstand WAS UP??
The bike should have been standing straight up with the front shock compressed(at least partway), and the rear should have been lashed to keep from kicking out on a bumpy corner?
How the HELL (can I say that
) did it fall over
