n 1992 a powerful gust of wind blew my Benelli off it's centre stand when it was parked outside my workplace, the machine landed on the ignition timing cover which needed a replacement, luckily it didn't damage that long crankshaft, they aren't exactly cheap to replace.
Yes it was one hell of a gust at Wainstalls in the Yorkshire Pennine hills with an elevation of 1440 feet, It is so windy there that it can power these huge wind turbines. There are a total of twenty of them.

I have a Lindby bar on my '99 1200 S. It might take away from the looks of the bike, but when I had a slow driveway tip-over a couple years ago it saved the tank which is irreplaceable.
Funny how that bar looked so much better afterwards! Plus I love the extra riding position it offers.
