Sorry to see that, Joe. Must be a real bummer to come out ready for a ride and see that. Are you sure it was enemy action and not high winds? Is the bike parked in a publicly-accessible area?
Whatever, hope you can get it fixed up and back to normal quickly.

I've got a clip on and it might even be straight. I'll have a look later.
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Am sorry to see this
I hate leaving my bike in similar circumstances:(
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Found one of my bikes like that one morning when I went to go to work. Managed to track down the little scrote who did it and re-educated him. Not had any trouble since.
Looks like you've come away pretty much unscathed though. I've fixed bikes that have had minor falls which have cost the owner a good couple of hundred quid..
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
