Black striple parked in front of laffare cafe in wellington

Your bike was laying flat on the ground about to be backed over by a truck. It's now right side up, angled it against the wind and tried to wedge it securely against kerb :(

right hand indicator is a bit munted but tank looked all good.

reckon the council need to dyna bolt some tiedown hooks into the ground for windy days like this.

I've owned my 2005 Speedy for about 3 weeks now, and one of the first things I noticed was how vertically it stands on its side stand. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Yep Noticed that too, not great for 100kph plus winds.

Thank fuck it never gets windy in Wellytown (as everyone there keeps telling us).

It must have been one of the regular earthquakes that knocked the bike over.

Hell I thought my 05 was pretty mint. Damn sight better than the KTM I have now.
