Oh for god's sake, man, what have you done now?
You ok?

There's rats and foxes dancing in my garden, I wondered why.

Don't panic...Just fell over outside me back door...

L/H indi lens & L/H Footpeg Fubar.

Funnily enough I had spares at hand & repaired in about 20 mins, most of which was pulling the other bikes out to get to tools n Bits...

Couldn't repair the large dent in me pride though... :lol: :lol: :redface :redface

So I came home from work. Pulled up outside. Got off, went in & sorted me self out, lid off, jackect ect ect.

Put the kettel on for a brew...


Thinks 'right I put the bike away & then get changed have a coffee & settle in for a nice relaxed weekend...'

So goes back out side, open the cave entrance & went to move the bike... When I pulled up I hadn't put it in neutral, so faffed about kicking the lever & it wouldn't go in, tried it by hand still couln't find it. So I jumped on & & clicked it down n up & bingo...Now the point here is that the keys not in it so I've no neutral light just the fact that it moves with the clutch out...

Now happy it's moving freely, I goes to step off...only problem is in moving it back & forth the stand had flipped up & silly baldrocks here hadn't checked it was still down...

You know the rest apart from which sware words were issued...There were quite a lot.. :x

Picked it up, checked the damage & fixed it...

All in all just a stupid mistake...

Made you all think tho... :lol: :lol:

You all have permision to have a good laugh at my expence & let the ribbing commence...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Glad to hear that, Mac, I was worried about getting overrun by rodents.

That sounds like something like I would do Mac. :lol: :p
Glad it was nothing serious to say the least. :thumbup:

Well it's not something I did directly on the bike but it's something I did for the bike so I can enjoy that occasional track day when I've got her finished. :biggrin

It's also color matched to the yellow/ red theme I'm doing on the bike. :Woohoo: :Woohoo1:

Nola Motorsports requires full leathers for track days and I plan on getting some more training on track for preparing my steed on the track. :thumbup:
The best mod for the bike is the rider and I want to be ready.
It's a dream come true after 25 years of dreaming of the day I'd be on a legit race track and playing Rossi on the tarmac.
:beer: :Boxing: :Rock2:

Oooh, nice suit mate. My current preferred suit is my Richa Typhoon "rubber johnny" oversuit.......

Fitted fender extenders front and rear to the lil 390 Duke, well it is for commuting in the main - it does handle fantastic though so weekend backroads will be fun too.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
