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 ! . 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 . 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 .

thats a big shit there mate
you don't seem to be having a lot of luck at the mo with the bike
as long as u are okay that's the main thing.
plenty of time for a rideout when the weather brightens up.

Sorry to hear about your spill mate,

hope you can get some wheels sorted in time for summer!

Sorry to hear about this mate, I feel your pain!

If you need any help with anything let me know.

Gutted mate

Hope it all works out for you and not too costly

Unlucky mate. Glad your ok though. Bikes can be fixed people can't.

Hi guys , just popped back on to say fanx for your messages . Feeling pretty low at the moment . How long have i gotta wait now , before the Black Widow back on the road again . Fanx again guys , nice to know you care . Cheers

Sorry to hear it Fester mate

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.

you must have inherited funkys luck

glad your okay, where have you taken the bike too for the repairs.

Cheers guys . The bike gone into CCR Motorcycles in Exmouth , with Jez down there .

Not good eh. the price of fuel these days you think they would want to save as much as poss?

what sort of speed were you doing?

let me know when the bike is fixed so we can go out. at least your ok

sorry to hear this Fester
hope you and the bike recover soon

Sorry to Hear that you have had a accident. you'll be sore for a few days i know what like been there and wrote my bike off. but it good to hear you ok though. take care

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

Sorry to hear but glad nothings broken on you, its bad enough on the bike
