Well, as has already been mentioned in a previous post about the "little" bit of wind that we had last night. However it would appear that it was more than a "little".

I live in Peterborough, but work in Wales and my lovely new gixxer is parked and anchored in my back garden all week until the weekend when I can give her some TLC. My wife is at home all week and looks after her, and my Staffy guards her when he's at home! However nothing could have predicted the events of last night..

MY BIKE GOT BLOWN OVER!!

Yep, that rights! Blown over. It would appear from the devastation in our little estate (climbing frames uprooted, bins banging into cars, and some trees being ripped to shreds) that we had a mini storm!

My wife rang me to tell me when it happened, was about 5ish last night. Now being 250 miles away in wet Wales didn't sit very well. Luckily the guy who lives over the road, a fellow biker, was summoned and he managed to pick my baby up and move her to somewhere less vunerable to the wind. He commented that I got away lightly with it but will need a bit spending on it to make her better!!

The damage so far it would is the following...or forgot to say that I ordered my crash bungs on Saturday but will not arrive till this weekend and it hit my lawn not concrete!..

Right side fairing dented, cracked and pierced by two bolts on the engine
Right side Wing mirror snapped
Right side Indicator snapped
Slightly dented and scratched exhaust...

<wipes tear from his eye>

*&£% it....

Unfortunately all I can do from sunny Wales is wait until Thursday night when i get home to check the damage for myself and look at the pictures my wife took with her phone that she sent me last night....

I am really worried thought that the handlebars may be bent or the steering damper may have been affected.

Do you think I am worrying unneccesarily? Could it be just a cosmetic as it seems??

Please either convince me to drive home and sort it, or put my mind at rest!!
