I think I should have done what Rixxxy did, and taken the cover off the ZX9R - woke up to a text message from a friend alerting me it had blown over! Thankfully no damage (in part due to having R&G bars on it), and starts fine.
Have now moved it to a safer location for the moment, until things return to normal
wow, you lot are the kind of fools that hire a crappy American car, gaffer tape a big home made radar dish attached to a Speak and Spell and then drive round Kansas shouting over the roar of Tornados about how beautiful Mother Nature is in all her destructive glory…
this post was meant to be helpful… not release the weather geeks amongst us! 
There was no weather , nothing more exciting that what was in my tea cup .
It’s still there!
been sunny all day in north herts. Annoyingly for me, I’ve picked up a cold so haven’t been out enjoying it 
Train lines are blocked all over the place though
