Bike went over in Boxhill car park London week last Sunday.

Had a brill ride down from Derby for a meet, 23 of us in total, picked up at Derby and Thurrocks services then to to Boxhill off M25 had a brill meet, car park was slippy with leaves....when it was time to leave we were filing off from the left up a slope, plonker on a 3 wheeler came from my right at a fast speed I was only doing about 5/8mph slammed on the front brake thought he was going to ride into me ....natural reaction slam on anchors....front wheel went, down my baby went on left hand side!!!!!!!
Got up tried to pick up my bike couldn't muster the strength, walked over to a wooden boarder holding in a flower bed kicked hell out of it swore then walked back to my pride and joy....lads had then picked up my bike.

Lower fairing scratched to hell.....suzuki crash bung as much use as a chocolate fireguard!!!!! disintergrated! now ordered some R&Gs
Gear leaver snapped
Mirror stem bent
Paddock stand fitting saved my swinging arm (present off a m8t) Clapping

fortunatly one of our guys had his work van with him, he had a gixa gear leaver with him in the van (how lucky?) got home OK.

Priced lower fairing at £295!!!! found a guy who carries out repairs on plastics repaired as new for approx £100 only thing is he wants the fairing for 2/3 weeks Crying or Very sad

I'm going with that because I can't afford the unexpected expense....so off the road for a few weeks all for some plonker showing off in the car park.

Yes m8t it is, always have to look on the bright side and think it could always have been worse.

I had a small crack in the seat cowl (not done by me) so thats off being repaired together with the fairing, believe you me I look after my bike like a goddess and everything has to be perfect.

Got a tail tidy/smaller rear indicators to fit and put on engine and swinging arm R&G bungs when they arrive this week so once the plastic is back repaired she will be back to A1 condition.
