Well...thought I'd let you all know that I decided I didn't like my brown paint job anymore and decided to try and scrape it off with the road...
Was pulling out of my friends driveway onto a main road, close to wear I live, and bang....hit some gravel, bike went down...not wanting the bike to be all alone on the deck, I duly followed. Sliding along the deck for a few yards before the kerb very nicely, brought us to a gentle stop!
Damage probably looks worse than it is....but is definately an advert for R&G. God bless em!
So far (before my spanner monkey comes over tonight to inspect the beast), the damage looks like a new bottom fairing, new RHS rearset, crash bungs, wing mirror, bar end. Some suffs and scratches on exhaust plus some minor scratches elsewhere.
Biggest dent is of course to my pride.
Pissed off beyong belief. Only popped round for a brew to see my mate after his trip to spain and see his mates R1 thats he's selling. I was wearing jacket, gloves and boots, but was wearing jeans so my knees a bit mangled. Nothing serious, few bruises and a bit of road rash.
Luckily its technically winter so its a project. Maybe an excuse for that paint job I wanted. Every cloud
