Stay away from my BIKE! The week of Hell

[Ramius]

As per previous posts, have a gander of this one, I have a new philosophy after this.

Last sunday, some prick pushed my bike over. I replaced the Mirror and Brake lever as I was waiting for other parts.

Friday some jerk dropped his bike on to mine, which pushed it over damaging the entire right side of my bike. Someone picked it up, didn't put it on the kickstand properly and the wind pushed it over.

Today, the guy who brought my Kawasaki came to pick it up, took my Suzuki for a ride....and....CRASHED IT!

There was no new damage to any parts that were not damaged before, which I am thankful for!

Funny thing is, not once have I been near the bike when it has gone down!

My philosophy now is, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY BIKE! When I get it repaired, it is going into a glass cage never to come out again!

I suppose it could be worse, I could be dead. Oh, my wallet is feeling the pinch!

:argh:

Get a priest to exorcise the bike. Something aint right

[Ghost Lemur]

I'd be selling the bike and buying somethig else if I was you. Sounds like your bike suffers from Narcalepsy(sp?).

[Darryboy]

I'm telling you man!
It's those blue 2004 GSX250's!

I mean... I crashed mine twice :o
but one of the crashes was a cage avoidance thing and I've had it backed into and pushed over.

[SPORK]

Thats what you get for getting on the wrong side of Zed in the RR thread :P

LOL. Kidding.

[Ramius]

See, I would not rant so much if I was the one that caused the damage, but considering that not once have I been near it...

This week, I am going to get it blessed by a catholic/christian/maori priest and a buddhist monk if I can. No harm in over protecting it.

[Jackrat]

Mate,forget all that.
Get a cable lock an lock it to something that ain't gonn'a fall over.
You know,like a lamp post,Tongan security guard,or summint else like that.
Feel for ya' dude,Good luck.

[crashe]

Sheesh mate, sell it real quick and buy another bike.... :eek:

I dont think that you were meant to own this particular bike.
It is jinxed and you will be much happier with another bike.
Cut your loses and let someone else have fun with it... :wacko:

Hey the dude who rode it, is he offering to pay towards any damages, after he crashed it.? :cool2:

I had leather straps with 1 inch torpedo studs on them... told by the coppers to remove them

Exactly for the purpose of stretching them over the seat when I left so no lil kids would jump on it


I could make some up if you want :-D

[Coyote]

Put a 'Beware of Dog' sticker on the fairing. That'll keep people away.

Or better still, put a huge empty rifle holster to the side

Hollowman, what is that in your avatar? Is it what I think it is? ;)

Sounds like the thing wants to be a Ratbike ;)

[2_SL0]

what do you think it is?


Hmmm, I dont like to say, incase Im completely on the wrong track. :o

[SPORK]

It seems to be a nipple in space with a rocket ship coming in to dock with it, by means of a tractor beam.

:eek:

I replied in private and gave a bigger version of it.

tractor beam? That's a spark.

[2_SL0]

It all becomes clear. :whistle:

[dangerous]

I'm telling you man!
It's those blue 2004 GSX250's!

I think that you are onto something there........ both new blue GSX250's that belong to Chch KBer's have been stacked aswell.

[Bonez]

I think that you are onto something there........ both new blue GSX250's that belong to Chch KBer's have been stacked aswell. Could it be they're trying to shake off their fairings?

[Sniper]

I think someone is trying to tell you to get another bike. Either that or Goid hates you? He hated me and my CG125, has 4 accidents on that before I got the hint.

[Ms Piggy]

You have my sympathies mate but, I'd be following Jackrats suggestions.

[toads]

i really feel for you with all this totally unessecery damage happening to your bike, perhaps the best course of action is Jackrat's suggestion of locking your bike to an immovable object wherever possible, not always possible i realise, there is some plastic stuff you can stick on the fairings to protect the paintwork, but i'm not sure it's worth the expense now the damage is done.
an alarm sounds like a good idea, nothing like shaming people away from your bike lol!

Park it on the "Killer Highway" when they do the exorcism.. (yes, I'm serious, this got more coverage in the local paper than the bike show) :angry:

[Ramius]

Well, I have taken some advice and this week the bike is getting blessed by a Maori Elder.

Going to also find a priest to bless it.

Spoke to the insurance guy this morning, and all is sweet there!

Explained the situation and what has been going on, only have to file the one claim because damage was done to the same spots as the first time.

[zooter]

Hold your fire on the insurance claim for the meantime. Matt black doesn't show shadows. If you want to PM me I can hook you up with stretchy signwriter's vinyl, at cost, to cover the bike and it would look totally evil, nobody would dare push it over. Since I feel so sorry for your situation I'll do you a couple of suzuki decals for free.
Do it this way and you can have another stack on it and then go for the doctor on the insurance. Presumably you're on your restricted for awhile yet and then you'll be selling it to get something bigger. Come time to do it up back to original you can heat it with a hairdryer and peel it off. Your insurance co should allow you to hold over the claim for at least the rest of the term of the policy, maybe longer if they share the logic in potentially only paying out once on paintwork.
In the meantime the vinyl will disguise the damage and you'll have the stylieest gsxr in town for about $40 to $60 worth of HP vinyl and a couple of hours of your time.

Dunno about the rest of the people here but I find a healthy respect from other people when they know that I'll kick the shit out of people who mess with my bike :bash:

Hey thanks so much for that offer, just a little too late though, the bike has gone through the assessment from Wgtn M/c, the claim form is with the insurer and the assessor is signing of on it on Monday. Sounded like a fantastic idea though! Maybe that is what I need, to make my bike look like a don't fu*k with me or the owner bike.

Talking about the insurance company, went in there today, said, I need to pay my first premium please, did that, got the receipt, and then said, here is my claim form, the look on the guys face was worth all the hassle. :Offtopic:
