MI' m the next member of this club.
I had bought the CB and a few weeks later was on the way to a gasoline station. It started to rain. To park the bike I wanted to put it on the center stand but my slippery wet left shoe found no hold on the stand and off the Honda fall to the ground on it's right side. The engine cover was scratched and the break pedal went out of place, which could be adjusted. I polished the scratches as good as I could and painted them with some silver engine color. The next thing I did, I mounted engine crash bars.
The second but not the last time, the CB parked on it's sidestand on a kind of lawn. A piece a wood should prevent it from sinking in. After a while I heard a loud sound, the wood cracked and the CB was lying on it's left side in the grass. The clutch levler was broken. No other injuries, which are worth to be mentioned.
It's last fall down had the Honda on a ferry in Norway.
I parked the fully packed bike on the center stand, a crewmember gave his okay for being save enough, but it wasn't. The waves made it move and let it fall over.
The crashbars again and the stuffed saddlebags helped to keep the CB in shape, except the windscreen got slighty scratched and went out of place.
I'm not glad about these roadlife trophies, but they make the Honda personal, individual and remind me to be more careful.
