Good news!

New update: Engineer has been to see the bike today.

Apparently, the sum-total of the damage is a missing numberplate and a cracked fairing panel or two.

Exhaust is still there, gear-lever is still there, indicators still there. The only other thing of note is that the link-pipe is a bit loose.

Absolutely FUMING at the garage, as they told me it was unrideable and couldn't be recovered at the weekend...which is now clearly untrue. They've scammed me out of at least £40 of storage charges.

The engineer is calling them now to talk to them as he does lots of work with them to see what they can do, but I'm seriously unhappy. Could've had my bike back at the weekend!

Hmm.

They've graciously agreed to freeze storage charges as long as I pick the bike up on Friday...so I only have to pay £220 instead of the £180 that I would have had to if they'd not told me the bike was missing all its bits.

How nice of them

Driver disqualified times four, high on heroin, attempted to ram me twice, managed to at the termination of the pursuit, I have bad whiplash, he is in prison! He threatened me with a knife, so was cuffed to the steering wheel to keep him safe and secure.

See, we do get out there and fight real crime. I've locked up more burglars in four years on traffic than seven years on section.

Should have brought video to Backpackers - would have been better than an old fillum!

Now with pictures!

Anyone think I may need a new rear subframe?
