As if mondays weren't bad enough - SV650.org

Had a reasonable day at work, considering it's a Monday and all my colleagues had cried off.

Got all kitted up, debating weather to go the scenic route home or call in on the girlfriend, saddled up, clutch out. BANG!

Guess who left their disc lock on

Thank the lord for my R&G's cos otherwise I'd have been one unhappy bunny

Just thought sharing my stupidity might make me feel better.

Nope

Everyone does it once. Except me, I've done it about 6 times now.

I've never done it <touches wood>

I think you meant to say wether.

Weather = rain, sunshine, overcast

wether = wether or not to go out

As for the disc lock, I've been there and done that, fortunately I was pushing the bike around on the driveway so no real damage.

A wether is a castrated Ram. You meant whether. If you're going to correct someone, make sure you get it right

I never knew a Wether was a castrated ram.

Just got some very light scratches on the underside of the left lower fairing. I reckon some cloured polish would do the trick.

Anyone got any tips or recommendations for covering up/repairing scratches

Anyone else ever had these helpful words from their better half "I don't see what the fuss is about, it's only a bit of plastic"
