My poor bike!

How's your day going? Are you having a great work day - or - a horrible one? Got complaints about your boss? Your co-workers? Your spouse or friends? This is the place to let it hang out.

I know girls can do them. My sister used to ride a Triumph back in the 60s before she got married. A long-haired rocker she was.

Whatever kind of bike you end up with Pinky, may I suggest that you take the appropriate measures to prevent saddle soreness from over-use :lips: ;)

Ummm, Pinks? I just saw a news program which featured "amusing film from a security video in England." An attractive woman stood at a counter and said:

"It's in the hope that the other half will fill my crack tomorrow"

How about a moonlight ride on the bike?

Oh well, at least it's stopped me riding like a nutter for the time being.

WAAAAHHH!!!! NOT FAIR!!!:yh_cry


Strip the plastics off of it and ride it naked

The bike silly, not you!

If the nosecone is split you'll need to fit a streetfighter headlight but they're cheap enough S/H.

It'll give you the chance to try to repair the panels without the pressre of not being able to use the bike.

Oh Pinky!!:(

How I know how this feels.....I bet Si feels bad, even though it wasn't his fault.

I remember this time when me and my mate had just baught kebabs, rode to this carpark and stopped to eat them. There I was, sat on my beloved ZX10 sideways, whilst it was on the side stand.

I was sat on the seat sideways, all nice and seccure, when all of a sudden: WHOOOOOOSH, big gust of wind, over goes the "10", with me on top of it. My mate was pissing himeslf. I was all covered with chilli sauce.

Problem was, when I had got up and we had picked the bike up, it wasn't so much the single large crack down the right side of the fairing, but the big pool of oil that had leaked out of the right hand crankcase cover...:-5

That was an expensive kebab!!:(
