I think your pointy had a lucky escape though Wolfie... Having you as an owner for so long without incident.

Always good to have another person around to take pics of your woe

It's the only bike I've owned that wasn't moving when it went over...

SV : Dropped it on my foot on the driveway
DRZ : The "Taxi Incident"
SMR : "I swear it was that oil stain" - on track
Daytona : "Oh that roadsign's coming up awfully fast..."
Adventure : "It's a puddle, how hard can it be"

Only the Daytona and DRZ really count

Not really, the only one that cause damage beyond a scratch or two was the Daytona, and I did that one properly... The two KTMs were actually being used in the manner they were intended for, instead of simply ferrying middle aged fat blokes to the burger stop every sunday...
