****FESTER GONE DOWN TODAY***********

Post by FESTER »

8) Hey one n all . My luck with the Black Widow run out again ! . After waiting over six weeks to get her back on the road recently . Going to work this morning , down a country lane . Went into the bend , only to discover a nice [idiot] of a driver had left a diesel spillage on the road . Bike went down to the right , while throwing me to the left ! .
Result ..... one bouncing Fester across the road , and one broken Black Widow ...... again ! . :x :x :x :x Bike is now in same garage as before , hopefully not as long as before . Damage to bike :
Right indicator broken .
Right mirror completely snapped off , whole lot off , everything needs replacing on it . Not just a new mirror ! .
Rear right indicator arm buckled and twisted .
Right side panel busted .
Speedometer smashed , and cable ripped right off .
Front brake lever busted , needs replacing .

I think thats it .... on first glances , hope nothing else emerges ?? .

Damage to Fester :
Not so bad .
Right hip hurts , where i hit the road .
Toes on right foot hurt like hell .
Some cuts and grazes on right thigh .

My boots and leather jacket took the brunt of it , thank god . So pissed off , and unhappy about the bike . Only had it back on the road for about four weeks :x :x :x :x . Now gotta wait how long ??? , and how much ??? to get my baby back on the road ...... again . [Censored] barstards of lorry drivers . If i find out who it is that cant be bothered to clear his mess up , and could have potentially killed someone , then i will smash his lorry up , and a few of my mates down ere , will put him in hospital for a very very long time .

So the next time you lot are moaning about your problems ... spare a thought for me ok . Looks like im destined to never go on my first ride out with you lot . Im going now cos im really pissed off , and unhappy .

Sorry to hear it Fester mate :cry:

At least you're ok, althought I expect you'll be sore as fook in the morning.

What about sorting some secondhand bits. Try CMS or partfinder, you could always specify you want unmarked parts.

8) Hi guys . Just wanted to say a really big thank you , for the latest batch of well wishes . Nice to know all my SWB buddies out there care . Means a lot to me . Thanks guys . The annoying thing is it was out of my hands . Through no fault of my own the bike is back off the road ......again . Courtesy of some [idiot] who could not be bothered to clear his/her mess up . Im battered and bruised , and feel stiff all over . But nothing broken . Was just upset when i saw my bike . Just praying its not gonna cost too much . Just dont wanna wait weeks and weeks , like i did before . Thanks again guys . Speak again soon 8)
