    got back late this eve after day two of a great wkend 'racing' with the Fridge (great to meet you mate :D ) and dropped my bike pushing it into the shed! DICK!!!!! :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :cry: :evil: :x
    I left the sidestand down thinking it would flick up as I pushed it up the ramp :roll: .....it didn't. Luckily there was a nice low wall, with a nice sharp edge to stop it falling completely. :shock: so nice dint and a split in the fairing.... fanbloodydozey.

    (oh and the wheel guys scratched my rim putting new tyre on !, they've agreed to fix it but more hassle)

    Still. no use crying over, *&$&$"%&* blah, blah, blah!!!!*x%*^%$£%$ . MILK!! New tyre was really good though (pilot power 2ct) and what a fantastic wkend. brilliant riding with another 675, especially when they like to go fast as well ;)

    laters all

  2. Don't worry, you are not the only one to do that this weekend. I was pushing mine up the drive between my wifes car and the neighbours. The drives are slightly different levels and the front tyre slipped down and lost balance, luckily the bike landed on my wifes car and there doesnt seem to be any damage more than a small scratch!

    Jim, never change your trusted habits, and as for the damaged rim make a
    claim through their insurance and get a new wheel, fooo...king tossers.
    In a word gutted :(
