The woeful tale of wellington wind and the parked bike

[davebullet]

Install crash bungs. Might not save all the damage, but will help in future. In Wellington, it is only time before one's bike gets blown over.

sorry to hear yes i agree with most people here i think you just had bad luck and the cover could have had sumthing to do with it wind getting caught in it and pushing it over

and insurance is a bastard untill you fully licened and over 25 even then is still is

"damaged while parked" MAY be different to other claims...ask your neighbours?One of them may have seen something?Dont think wind will blow a bike of centre stand.

I've had my little ole CB blown over a few times in Welli winds so it's not too surprising that kravenmore's has been blown over.

What a bummer though! Hope you get it sorted.

heh, unlucky man, we should start a club... The Prila has been on her side because of the wellie wind... I never claimed though, just not worth while with the excesses as high as they are... reckon i can live with a few scrapes...

Bugger I had exactly the same thing happen, Cover acted like a sail and pulled it over. Nice big dent in the tank now I now use bungies to hold the cover on tight and havn't had a repeat of this , although in wellington anythings possible. Saw a van blow over on the Terrace some years ago, that was a sight.

Uh huh. Didn't even have a cover on it either.

My claim went through with no drama.
