HI. well, as i came to a slow stop a cple of days ago, in my absent mindedness i did not see the pot hole looming towards the underside of my front wheel.
and obviously as bloody luck would have it, the place i came to rest was with my front wheel stuck right in the bloody pot hole, on an off camber hill, facing down hill. so, the bike started to lean verly slowly, and with a full tank of fuel and tank bag on i couldnt stop it. so i reluctantly placed the bike on its side in mega slow motion, thinking..'fuck fuck fuck' all the time!
it now has a small scrape , around 5 cm long by 1 cm wide, not very deep, just deep enough to take off the top layer of paint on the most outside edge of the r/h fairing. and a very small nick out of the paint on the bar end and end of brake lever, very very minor.
can anyone suggest a good product available in NZ to repair the minor damage?
oh, and the colour, glass black!
to sum up, Bollox! i dropped me bike!
