Nope first thing i did was move the car/trailer forward to stand the bike up.. but then i thought "how many times are you going to see your bike layind down on the job?"

NO damage to the tank at all. The bike was strapped down to a HF chock i had moddified a little. so the chock set up took alot of the force. i believe it saved damage to the forks and controls.

Steering Stop? i dont think so. i did a once over of the fork and neck area didn't see anything out of place but i also wasn't specificlly looking for that.
i did stand it up eventually, let it sit for afew minuets while i cleaned up straps and other random things i had out. some oil leaked out of the vent tubes as well as fuel from the Carb/tank i guess. but it started right up. rode it about a half mile. still kicking..
ohh and sorry for the double post. i usually only use my cell phone and when it freezes it sends things twice. any chance a MOD can delete that for me?
