What a total bastid.
I wuz torqueing up some bolts on the LC two days before it was due on the club stand at Stafford bike show. I slipped, the bike went over...bounced off the fakkin wall and then fell back over onto my good self where the pegs tried to checkout the inside of my shins.
How much chrome and paintwork...arrghhh...I wuz too busy thrashing it with a good piece of birch to think about the scratches.
Secretly, I always knew that it wanted to kill me. Ever since the head gasket blew at over a ton, pressurising the system and blowing boiling water straight out the overflow reservoir n up onto my visor. YOW!
Bastid, bastid thing.
You have my thoughts Wayne

OH DEAR
my worst fall over was on my thundercat , i stopped at traffic lights checking out the bird in the car next to me she was turning right i was turning left as i came to a stop i went to put my left foot down and there was no road i'd only put my foot in a POT HOLE and guess what , the bike fell over with me under it , mirror , engine casing indicator , screen , and top fairing , all whilst being watched by the bird in the car next to me, i felt a right tw@ , one consolation i had an iridium visor on .
lesson learned keep your mince pies on the road. so wayne these thing do happen to all of us . and at the end of the day its only metal and plastic.

As its confession time.
Get phone call from dealer to say that the first brand new bike I'd ever been able to afford ( VF1000f ) was ready for collection. Wizzed down town on push bike, going so fast failed to make the turn at the bottom of our road, highsided ( in my dreams ) and broke arm. Had to look at new bike in a sling for 6 weeks. Bugger
