Purchased 94 -1000 in July 2013.
1. First weekend hurt my knee while skidding in some gravel, did not drop it, but was backing out of garage later that day, weight went on bad knee, over she went. Broken RH foot peg mount, broken pannier mount. Small scratches on pannier.
2. Third weekend. Parked sensibly on side stand 700 miles from home, retrieved hat from LH pannier, as I pushed it closed bike tipped over and broke RH foot peg mount again, managed to affect repair by swapping bolts around, enough to get home.
3. Month 3, parked on side stand, decided to re-park to allow other bikes to park in cramped bike parking area, stepped off without pitting stand down at all, no damage this time. Embarrassing !
4. Month 6. Pulled off highway to answer phone, almost stopped, tiny skid in gravel, too much front brake, went down LHS broken clutch lever, still rideable.
5, Month 7. Just finished 1600 miles in 4 days two up in wind, rain, fully loaded. Got home unloaded, decided to get a pizza, looking forward to a quick ride with no luggage. Tried to pull up on a sloped parking space, too much front brake again, dropped RHS, broke foot peg mount yet again ! I gotta stop doing this, it's costing a fortune.
