got home this afternoon put the bike on the side stand, turned around to shut the back gate, heard a bang looked around and my baby was lying on her side in the flowerbeds, cracked the indicators and broke the left rear set luckily no other damage, i swear if i have a weekend off, fate finds me something to do

Doh! What is it with you and that bike not staying vertical.

Glad the damage is not too bad mate. I'm still trting to get the fairing for mine, gonna have to bite the bullet and buy a new one i think.

I'm gonna get you some stabilisers for Christmas!

Does this count as a minor Funky?

don't no if it counts as a funky, but she should be back on the road by tomorrow morning

Did any of the other companys I gave you manage to help you out matey ??

thanks for your help mate, but they didn't have any either, but i did find one in my shed with a small crack in it that i can tig weld tomorrow

In a similar vein, I got home from work on Wednesday to find my bike had been leaking oil all the way home, on closer inspection it seems one of the three nuts had come off the oil filter cover. I've found a nut to replace it but the 27 quid in oil and new filter wasn't part of my spending plan this weekend .

I thought there was a piece of 6x2 inch involved there for a minute "TIMBER"

Thanks for that,

I'm still trying to find a fairing panel. just how hard can it be?

blue hope you find the bits soon, luckily i had the bits to repair her in my shed, but was still out at 0800 making a indiactor bracket using metal off of an old washing machine, is there no way to repair the panel for now just to get you back on the road, have got plenty of fibre glass up here if you want to give it a go

no mate destroyed it completly I'm off work atth mment now cos I did the tendons in my hand in so have got some time to sort it.

Nice touch using the washing machine for bits
