Default Dratt, Dratt and Double Dratt

I've got a loan bike at the moment, whilst mine is in for service....

Guess what...

THE WINDS JUST BLOWN IT OFF THE SIDE STAND

Looks to escpaed major damage, apart from the whacking great big dent in the fuel tank.. I cant remember the exact terms of the loan bike, I've just spoke to the dealer and it doesnt look very promising for me

It never rains but it pours

Its fully comp yes, however.. theres the insurance excess and what not to sort out, also theres some T & C's about accidental damage and stuff, and I cant remember what they are...

Ah well I'll find out tonight when I take it back, could be worse could be my bike !!!

Oh the excess - bummer.

I never thought that the wind could blow a bike over! Obviously I was wrong!
