Bloody Gravel
 
Jst got my brand new GSX-R 750 last week.

Thought it would be a good idea to take it for a run this Sunday while it was nice and clock up the mile as im still running it in.

I got not 30 mins from home and as i came to a give way put my foot down only to find that it landed on some gravel and went from under me.

Fair to say i was raging.

Dropped it down left side. snapped left mirror (inc indicator) and scratched all the left pannel.

Luckly only a few marks on the bar end and levers and on the back tail (should hopefully come out) but still having to fork out for a new left panel.

Not Happy :mad:

Gutting, at least now you can ride it properly without worrying about getting your first scratch on it.

hopefully you will get yours fixed faster than its taking me to fix mine after my lowside
