Default Not what I like to see first thing in the morning....

I head out to the garage to head to work, push the button to open the overhead door, and when the lights comes on this what I see...



The cover was still on and the truck was backed away before the picture. First thought was it was actually leaning on the truck.....did not move when I backed away the truck so I guess it wasn't. Seems to be nothing wrong at all. The bike was resting on the saddlebag guard.

So to anyone else that leaves their bike in a condor or similar stand be sure to check your tire pressure once in a while. My front Avon tends to leak down over time and I strongly believe that was the culprit. Stood the bike up, set it on the jiffy stand, hopped in the truck and off to work I went. I will give it a more proper look over when I get home.

That's gotta send your heart into your throat! I think you'll be okay, Ive seen them ride away from much worse with little to no damage. Personally, I think your rims are the cause of the fall, so you should take them off and send them to me

I store my baby on a J&S Jack every day. It will not fall or tilt over on the jack. Check the jiffy stand bolts and function.

That is a police model and if it was in service as a police model it is probably used to laying down at least a time or two during qualifications LOL.

Just the bags are police. It has been down once on each side and that is it. Now that both sides have been inaugurated I can move on and not have it ever happen again lol!
