NEW accident report!
Aint life a bitch!
I've just got the bike back (last week) after having the damage repaired from when the girlie reversed into it & knocked it over. This morning I was riding through a local town, when I came up behind four cars that were stationary on the highway. I couldn't see why they were stood, so I pulled out & started to overtake them (at walking pace) When I drew level with the first one - a BMW 4x4 - he decided to put his indicator on, & turn left. Only problem is, he didn't bother to look in his mirror, & he turned straight into me. The bike went down. Damage :- Engine guard badly bent & mangled (but it DID protect the tank & my legs) Headlight twisted & mangled Clutch lever & bar ends scuffed Brake pedal mangled (from where BMW ran over it Luggage box scuffed NEW $250 leather coat scuffed on arm Handlebars bent Front mudguard scuffed Orange indicator cover bent & scuffed I thought that was it, but on the way home my right arm started to stiffen up, & I've found that my right wrist is swollen. Not broken, but I've strapped it up. Been to the bike shop! Here we go again! Mañana, Mañana!
