Not more bad luck......

Have you considered having a local priest perform an exorcism on the damn thing? I swear its cursed or something.

Hope you get it sorted and I'd let you use my garage too but the distance is kinda impractical though.

good luck

....cursed isnt the word... I came to it this morning to have it recovered to garage and it was on the floor again .. I swear this is the stuff horror films are made out of..

This time my lovely black double bubble screen was shattered!

I took it to the garage and the lads took one look at me and took the keys made me a cuppa and told me they would call me later to discuss what I wanted to do with it.. I couldnt even tell them what work I needed done to it!

The bike hasn't been lowered by any chance has it?

Was wondering if this was causing a stability issue and a strong wind might take it over?

Sorry to hear of your problems, I am sure its just a period of bad luck.

fizz yes it is but I know who did it this time.. there was a car parked with boot to bike so I know they reversed to get out of the space and knocked it over!!.. I have taken photos and will report it this time..

have found double bubble on ebay and will get it delivered straight to garage also looking out for crash bungs!!

I'd go one further, I'd sit and wait for them to come back and park their car and then speak to them face to face.

Once is acceptabe as an accident but twice is taking the P*ss IMHO

Defo report it to the Police first, then confront them.. if they get iffy and wont cough up their details.. then tell them its in the Police's hands for failing to stop/report an accident. Hopefuly, they will be a bit more forthecoming with their details after that.

Failing that, send round the heavies


Also, Pingu did bring up a good point, if the bike is lowered, then the side stand will also need shortening.. otherwise the bike will sit too upright.


As for crash bungs, I think R&G's for the curveys are approx £70 squid.. and need some drilling to the fairing. Though they have newer model ones out now which have a mounting bracket on it..
