Yep I can relate to thatI have fallen off twice.
Best.
I think that's what happened to my center stand/indicators/choke slides/chain guard/grab rail etc in the pastIf things fall off and the bike still works then actually you’ve simply reduced weight by shedding unnecessary detritus !
I had the same thing with the B44, alas at 3am in snow! I was in third and the bike stalled, direct lighting so no see bugger all (no street lights, either).. Three mile push home.Sorry to dilute this post but I once lost the gear lever off my A65
I felt it go but it was at night on a dual carriageway and I was in fourth so I had the dilemma of walking back looking for it or riding back locked in fourth
I looked back and could see it shining in the road as cars went by so I shut the bike down and ran back
But at that point a car drove over it sending it flying
Eventually I found it and booted it back on !
Better the tops than te whole carb! Had the port side carb about to let go after one of hte socket head bolts intake to head had gone AWAL and the other bolt coming adrift. Was the reason bike refused to accelerate when I turned the noisy bar grip thingie...only running on one cylinder.3 of the 4 screws holding the tops on the carburetors - still ran but the carbs wouldn’t stay in tune…. Felt like a complete dolt when I looked up under the tank to see the tops flopping about lol
