    I have been very lucky (touch wood) with the earthquakes. The one time I lef teh Scrambler on the sidestand it fell over (bent brake pedal, broken brake lever) but leaving them on the paddock stands with some chocks on the front wheels has stopped any of the others from falling over.

    Last bike I had a bike problem with in my garage was because of OAB, I was lending him my bucket and converted it to right hand clutch, decided I'd ride it down the driveway which went ok, rode it back into the garage and reached for the clutch on the normal left hand side, had a "oh fuck where's that gone moment" and rode into the back wall while I was trying to work it out
