OWCH! So, the left fork stayed compressed once it was down? Was that due to an onboard computer or something?

Arrrggghhh nooooooooo. Napping motorcycles are not cool. Glad damage was minimal

I could never understand why Central Offices have polished floors. It is not like many people visit these places.
Glad things worked out and it didn't fall in the other direction taking out 100 subscribers.

Looks strange but the suspension has no separate control. Both forks are extended equally to the same length.
One side, bottom/floor fork is is just up compared to the other. Like it was taking a sharp left hand corner.
Forks compress and move up and down for the leaning.
Make any sense?
ACK

Wow, I've seen videos of how the articulation on the Niken works, just looks weird from that angle I guess...

UGH!! A bike on its side is not a pretty picture. Glad there was no serious damage.

Those frame room floors can be slick. I was never allowed to park my bike in the CO.
