Did you pick it back up though?

I would not mind someone picking MY bike up if it fell/blew/got knocked over

Did this for a scooter a few weeks back, me and a Hornet rider picked up a blown over scooter, and sheltered it behind my Suzy

Left owner a note as to the 'lost' fuel that had spilled out and the broken mirror, next day a box of chockies was tucked into my fairing as thanks

No, I didnt pick it up, I did think that perhaps I should.. but it aint my bike to touch.
If its still laying over when I go to lunch I will pick it up.

Although possibly a good point to make, it might not be clever to pick it up if its just gonna fall again? Y'know trying to do the good thing and just end up breaking things more :doh:

Yeah and watch the wind decide to randomly change direction 90 degrees here in welly and still blow your bike over.

Its why i use my paddock stand when I can, otherwise find a wall to shelter near (easy said I know)

Featherston Wind Tunnel is the worst I have seen for blown over bikes
Seen a scooter leaning on a Bandit 1200 there quite a few times when I was at the bank, at least a weekly event

The Bandit owner knows the Scooter owner quite well by now it would seem
:D

Problem with picking up some random bike is as you start you can guarantee the owner will arrive and think you knocked it over ......

Someone (perhaps the owner) has picked up the bike and the others too.
So the mating of the Ducati and the scooter has finished.... what would that make? A ducooter or a scoocati... what a conundrum :clap:
