Brother has dropped his Crosstourer in a car park. Broke gear and clutch levers off. Three strong men picked it up and it came home on a AA truck.

I remember straddling one on its sidestand in the showroom and failing to shove it upright. I had grippy shoes on too, but felt they would slip before I got the necessary leverage. Dunno what it would be like on a sandy or gravelly road surface!

Hopped off sharpish and put it onto the "Never in a million years" list.

At least it went down on the left side. More to damage on the right! I'm speaking from personal, painful, expensive experience!
