In my case, I think that when one of the straps broke (it was the one on the brake side going from the back of the bike toward the front attachment point) the bike went down on the side stand. I am assuming that either the initial fall, and/or the culmination of bouncing in the truck on the side stand caused the damage. At one of the stops for fuel, when I checked straps on the bike, I discovered the broken strap and replaced it with another strap. It was at this time I discovered the side stand had been left down. I put it up at this point. Obviously the damage had been done. I did not discover it until I got the bike out of the back of the truck and set it on the side stand. It was at this point I saw how far over it was leaning. I assumed the bracket or stand had been damaged in the fall and ordered a replacement. It was not until I took off the bracket to replace it that I discovered the bolts had pulled away from the casing and taken chunks of the casing with them. Things I have learned from this experience: 1) don't ship a bike with the side stand down, 2) don't trust anyone else to strap down my bike for me, and 3) use more than 4 straps to tie down a bike.
