Last night I cried....my poor bike! Sniff Sniff

gutting for you hope you get it sorted soon (and cheap)

thats sh#t luck

i feel for you mate, the wind and rain was that heavy here last night that i got up twice just to see if my baby was ok

you'll soon have her back, good as new

You didn't really cry, did you?

No...but was seriously lost for words...

The wife said " You sitting down, cause I don't know how to tell you this...." I thought hey ho, divorce cometh....but no...."You know we having this storm....well...it's sorta blown ya bike over"

PANIC ENSUED!!

Worst case scenario running through my head, bike trashed, everything *^cked and thats it.....no more riding for a while! Genuinely gutted....think being away didn't help

Oh well...done now and tings are looking up. If its cheap to sort, nothing bruised too much other than wallet!

Thank god for my back lawn....

Have already set aside most of Saturday to get her fixed and fit my crash bungs!

[fizzwheel]

bummer that sucks, sounds like the damage wasnt to bad though

Hope you get it fixed easily enough

Gutting to hear that mate, at least you didn't kick it over, like my dad did with his sv, we went on a ride and he came home a few minutes before me, I pull in to see his bike in a flowerbed. Not a scratch on it either, if I'd dropped mine in there it would have been wrecked. I doubt you will have bent your bars mate, and I seriously doubt there will be any damper damage, they are designed to stop tankslappers, a lot more force than falling onto a lawn

As for the bike....really gutted and like you guys said. Its more annoying because it wasn't anything or anyone did! Apart from Mother Nature! She's obviously not a bike fan....bet she rides a moped and keeps failing her Test!

Have had some quotes now for the bits and looking not to expensive to get her fixed. Fairing apparently can be plastic welded as its just where a couple of bolts that went through from the engine. Indicator and Wing mirror cheap enough....however may use this as an excuse to put aftermarket indi's on. Some little ones... As for the exhaust, was going to buy a new one anyway so will just speed the process up!

What a bloody nightmare but hopefully it will be fine on Thursday when i get home and may
commute to work on her Friday to cheer her and me up!

Don't forget there is 20% off suzuki parts at the moment, as advertised on the suzuki GB website! You'll cry even more if you find this out after you've ordered (l ike me! )

Useful stuff though to help provide the friction for the tyres to get round corners and to put the power down.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to perhaps get aftermarket smaller indicators? I like the clear diamond shaped ones? I want to get this ordered ready for the weekend?

Also, do Gerickes do R&G crash bungs or are these a generic brand? If so, I may cancel my order for them and get the R&G crash bungs from somewhere? Suggestions where would be great too?

Thanks as always
