How do you park (front wheel)?

[GRAND ROUGE]

Yep. Just modest wind, maybe about 10mph. Half-cover. Side stand. Leaning INTO the wind.

It was at the end of a long hotel, just barely seen in the picture. I think the wind was caught by the building and just funneled down the entire length, making it just a bit stronger by the time it got to the bike.

The half cover is basically just stretched between the fairing and the trunk, which also shades the seat. Nothing extends below the bottom of the seat.

Steve.....never a better opportunity to clean the road crap off the underside... That said....dang.....looks pretty sad like that.

OH... I park my machines, when in garage, center stand, wheel straight...tidy lookin'. On street, if side stand, wheel left....

My MSF instructors said to always turn the wheel to the left. In fact, it was part of our parking procedure and I saw more than one student get yelled at for not following this rule.

When I first got my 1000G, I always tried to remember to park with the wheel to the right. But that was to minimize the master cylinder reservoir leaking on the tank. Now that it's fixed, I park like a normal person.

MUST get turned to the left? I thought the lock worked to the right, too. :-k

The only bike I ever bother locking is my V-Strom, and it only locks with the wheel to the left.

I don't generally ride the GS to bad neighborhoods, I guess... I never knew it would lock either way.
