Or, Thunderbike 1, Gravel Parking Lot 0. It had to happen - - - tipped over going up a steep little gravel incline into a slanted gravel parking pad. Rear wheel took a big slide. The bike was almost stopped, came down on the TB bars exactly as advertised. Only damage is a little barely visible scuffing in the paint on the bars. Nothing else touched. Shout out for TB!

A question - - the bike was down on its left side for about 3-4 minutes (at most). Once upright, it started right up. Can anyone think of any preventive maintenance that I should be thinking about? I've heard different theories on bad stuff that can happen when a bike gets over on its side.

Thanks,

Paul (minus cherry)
