First assumption was that it had been knocked over, again, however on further examination it would seem the hot weather had rendered the surface the side stand was on to the consistency of treacle. Ho hum. Anyway no one to rant at this time!
I had some spare indicators that I bought in case either my daughter or I needed spares, they were from a CBR600RR (same as my girls) however the rubber adapters differ from the VTR so a bit of cutting and shutting was required. All fixed, even the mirror with the aid of a longer bolt.

The unfortunate thing is there is more damage under the surface, Rad bent in, crack around the indicator mount, split along the top of the fairing radiator aperture, but mostly out of sight and therefore out of my feeble mind!!

I was in the workshop all day getting the last student from last years cohort through his last practical, and completing his portfolio, so I was in the college all day. What pisses me off is that if some numpty leaves their car window open or lights on there’s feckin e-mails flying around, phone calls to offices. My poor old bike lying on its side doesn’t even warrant an enquiry. Ar5eholes the lot of em.

I spotted it on the marketplace on the book of faces and enquired about it near 2 months ago but didn't follow anything up then 4 weeks later I get a random message asking me if I was interested and it was an offer I couldn't refuse.. as miserable as it looked in general the damn thing is really tidy and clean underneath.. so a bit of yesterday and today was devoted to giving old boy a make over and get ready for MOT.
