I parked my bike at work one day on a slightly more sloped area of the parking lot (allowing it to stand more upright than normal, even on the side stand) and it dutifully waited all day for me out there until I went out, started her up, and the vibrations of the engine wiggled the bike to the tipping point and over she went on the right side. Scratched up the handlebar weight, mirror, brake lever, both turn signals and my pride. Pride, mostly.
