Poltergeist strikes!

In another thread a while back, I jokingly mentioned our household
poltergiest. I described it as too weak to throw things or move things so
it specialises in making things topple over. Well...the fucker got the
V-strom this morning. I was starting out to work when I realised that I
had left something in the house. I got off and put the bike on the
sidestand on the driveway. I went back into the house and came out again
a couple of minutes later. I then walked up to the bike, which was
exactly as I had left it. Before touching it I turned back again to check
that the front door was locked. As I turned my back and walked a
couple of steps back down the drive I heard the crunch as the strom hit
the ground. I looked round and it was just lying there - no kids running
away or anything of that sort to explain it.

Damage - one indicator one plastic handguard. I could understand it if it
was on soft ground or hot-weather-melting tarmac but I could find no
obvious reason why it had fallen. Probably down to it being a bit more
upright than usual and a freak gust of wind but...(cue spooky music)it all
seemed a bit odd.

 

Which way did it fall ?.
One of my previous bikes ( a Jawa FWIW ) had a habit of rolling forward
off of the sidestand at the least provocation. Something to do with
the geometry of the sidestand not going far enough over centre.
Cleaning out a load of crud and replacing the pivot bolt helped but
some bikes seem to be prone to this.

 

Sideways

 

Heheheh, you spoiled my vision of it endoing all on it's own ..

I heard the crunch as the strom hit

I may be generously proportioned but I do NOT create a gravitational field
of sufficient strength to topple a bike!
