Well, I suppose I should have seen this coming...

[northwind]

November 2005: Northwind finally gets down to the respray. Figures it should tkae a month
16th April 2006, 01:30: Northwind finally finishes the respray, bar polishing and finishing some panels
18th April 2006, 17:50: Northwind fails to put the sidestand down right for the first time in 20,000 miles and drops the thing. One side panel and mirror now needing resprayed...

Someone is going to pay for that. It's entirely my fault, so I'm looking for an innocent victim. You, you'll do.

[Saint Matt]

Unlucky mate, sod's law isn't it :( Least my can wasn't still there I guess!

[Razor]

Your certificate of muppetry is in the post...

[amarko5]

Doh #-o ](*,) you clumsy or what :lol:

been there got the T shirt :wink: only i caught the CBR 600 F on my leg and ankle :? so got away with scratches to the decals :wink:

[enginedriver]

Oh Bugger!!! :(

[carelesschucca]

Tank green was never in style anyway... So say's my better half anyway... :wink:

Hope its not too much hassle to fix

[northwind]

Nah, got a spare side panel and I can redo the mirror pretty quick... Though I might be leaning on Big Al for a hand... But shh, don't tell him, I've not asked him yet ;)

But b***ocks anyway!

[haggis]

Oh - my - god!

What's gonna be next? :lol:


You must be gutted. I think I'd cry if it happened to me. I still have the deep joy of respraying to do, but it seems likely to get put back to the end of this year.

[Sid Squid]

But b***ocks anyway!

Couldn't have put it better myself, my commiserations. :cry:

[K]

I know it's small consolation, but if we compile all of your posts of this type on the Org - I think we could get a publisher interested! :wink:

Maybe a film contract? Not seen much of him lately - perhaps this is just hte project Jim Carrey has been waiting for?! :?




Seriously though, I feel for you. I'm not looking forward to taking off the fairing from the Blue Blade just to put on new downpipes - I just know I'll do something to screw them up. :oops:

[Viney]

:laughat:

[carelesschucca]

don't give him sympathy its the excuse he needs to take the bike to bits AGAIN!!! He loves that so he does... :wink:

[Skip]

Nightmare - I bet your first words werent 'U' rated! Gutted for you mate! :wink:

[RingDing]

Doh!

That's bad luck.

If it makes you feel any better I once forgot to take the disc lock off my GSX600F and dropped it ... twice ... in one day ... on different sides. :oops:

Hope it's not too much hassle to touch up.

I went the other way, the utterly unnerving calm (complete with furnace of rage held deep, deep down where nobody can see it till it suddenly EXPLODES! And you stab someone in the brain with a pool cue.

[Warthog]

Argh bad luck mate! I forgot my *expletive deleted* disc lock on my first large rideout this year a few days back and dropped it GRRR. But not as bad as my mate who went on the ride with me. We went across to bewdley way, and decided to head up through some small roads near Kinver. I headed up one track which rapidly got muddy and I heard a crack and she was off on some mud. Dented tank and snapped bung and brake lever. So I hauled the bike off her, and we limped home with her having no rear brake and a muddy bike. Worst thing was, we get to her house no house keys! She had left them on the verge of the farm track in the middle of nowhere!!

I hate disc locks, they are the cause of 75% of my bike accidents so far!!!

[dirtydog]

That would depend on whether you want them done this year!!! :lol: :lol:

[northwind]

[SVTONYB]

Andy......what is it wae you.....if its no you its the bike and if its no the bike its you..... have you always been this clumsy :roll:

[northwind]

Yup. It's a gift.

[SVTONYB]

Yup. It's a gift.

Some might call it a curse :wink:

Remember me not to accept any gifts from you :wink:

[Well Oiled]

Taken your avatar off the road to respray at the same time ? :P

[northwind]

It fell off a while back, takes after its owner. I've grown quite attached to my little red cross though.

[rob13]

unlucky mate, similar thing happened to me on an old bike - just had fairing resprayed. Maiden journey with it on - put the bike into gear and went to pull off my drive to find that it was still in neutral and i ended up tipping off.

You must have shares in it the amount of times you've used it :wink:

[Moo]

I feel the pain for you. :lol:
