FFS, everything I do with my bike seems to go wrong. A new tank will cost me like $200-300 if not more (I think anyway).
I'll take a picture tomorrow, too pissed to look at it right now.

Always park your bike tight to a wall, with the bike leaning towards the wall..if it is a sport bike that is. a) the wind is usually a lot gentler next to the wall. b) if it tips, you are usually only buying a 30 dollar bar end.
Cruisers never blow over, but Sport bikes kinda suck for lateral aerodynamics... i.e, the profile has the aerodynamic properties of a queen side mattress .
