My friend and I rode our brand new 1969 CB350s up the mountain to Big Bear (California) and about 2/3 the way up stopped at a rest area to use the restrooms. I was in a hurry and parked my bike pointed down-slope, turned off the motor, stand down, jumped off and began walking... People in the parking lot immediately started hollering and my friend called out to me, then WHAM!
Broken clutch lever, bent shifter, etc... The ride down the mountain was challenging, holding the broken lever in a way that I could use the clutch and shift.
Since that time my bikes have all been parked IN 1st gear...
