I parked it wrong...
I parked it wrong...
Went out for a ride with some mates and was absolutely flying showing the other's what a V2 can do (they all had I4's). Content with blowing them all away, decided to cruise for a bit, just coasting through the corners, day dreamed a bit, didn't look at the corner touched the grass on the outside of the corner and bang, ouch
I was only doing around 40km/h so came to a stop quickly, a bit winded and sore. The bike ended up a few metres away with a broken footpeg, brake lever, indicator, cracked lower fairing and scuffing to the plastics.
Lesson learnt: Concentrate!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you getting those repairs done?
When my bike got reversed over by a chick in a 4X4 while i stupidly had it parked in a carpark it only amounted to about $4500 - $5000.

Still no bike... getting edgy now.... I want my bike back... The repairer is waiting for parts so they haven't even started on it
I'm getting so frustrated now I'm thinking of buying another bike, I looked at a Triumph Sprint RS
Maybe I'll just trade my old Storm for a new one at the dealer that's repairing it?? Maybe that's their tactic??
I've got a weeks holidays next week and planned on riding the bike, this could cost me a lot of money... those new R1's look good too or a Z1000 or an SV1000, leases are so easy to get these days...
