For those of you who weren't at the Shire tonight (shame on you Nick7) I thought I would update you on the status of my bike.
Having had a thoroughly miserable ride home (got overtaken by an RR
and was feeling decidedly crap about the SV after Mondays battery problems) someone deceided to reverse into my bike whilst it was parked up. The guy was in a sports car and was parked in a disabled space when he deceided to reverse at speed crashing into my SV and pushing it into the garden and onto its side. He then drove off without so much as a glance toward my bike.
SV has some damage:
Gear lever sheared
Rear left body panel scratched in multiple places
Seat cowl scratched
Crash bung scratched
Rear bobbin scratched
Haven't looked at the rest yet cause it is too dark.
I have a witness (Scifi_blokes mate) but we dont have a number plate. The shire are going to see if they can see the number plate on their CCTV, but they are not holding their breath!
As you can imagine I am now even more ****ed off at the SV and fear that it feels the same way about me. Role on the RR. I am even at the point where I might start looking at new bikes as I'm really hating the SV right now
.

PS - Now I dont want to point fingures but if Nick7 had bothered to show up tonight I am sure that this whole incident wouldn't have happend as I would have parked in my usual spot next to him - sorry mate but this makes you Nick8.
