Default Hmmmmmm that's not right....

went for a ride yesterday afternoon couple of hundred miles so everything got a bit warm, at one point I gave the bike it's head and tried it full speed down a bit of motorway, came off after about 10 minutes and pulled up for a fag, to find.......................... I seem to have melted my offside rear indicator and side panel

I've already ordered a new pair of indicators, but I'll have to twist the can somehow to stop it happening again.




Cheers Mark.

Heh, mine is slowly distorting the numberplate, but it's just far enough away and out of line that I don't actually have to be rsed doing anything about it. Score.
