Just because you checked the stand is down, doesn't mean it'll do any good.

I was in the wilds of Northumberland, alone at the gate to a , well bog is the best description, put the stand down, rested the bike and opened the gate.

In the 30 seconds I had my back turned the bike was horizontal, with the stand impailed into the earth. Took super human effort to stand the bike up again..... and a large 'chunk' of Northumberland
