And the damage is...

[Donor]

Broken clutch lever.

Dent to tank.

Gouge in paintwork of tank.

Bent foot peg.

And how did this happen - has Donor has a bin?

No ... someone (not me, or any other KBer) decided to move my bike on my driveway, and dropped it.

So, now I have to replace a hydraulic clutch lever with zero coinage (thanks insurance excess for ripped off house and associated recent expenses) thus trapping me in the car for god knows how long.

As for the cosmetics, it's not that bad, but to me it looks hideously deforming, and I fucking hate it.

Sigh... that's 2 shit things, apparently they come in threes... what next?

Can't be arsed with insurance, probably a few hundy worth of repairs at least, but the $750 excess is ridiculously high for what needs doing...

GODDAMIT!

[TOTO]

Feel for you. Keep your eyes open for the third...

Made me sick seeing it fall over and go *crunch*. Such a pretty shiny thing, too!

Twunt Mk.II!

See, now this is why the missus never lets me have nice things!

Could be worse, you could be the owner of the brand new jag I saw getting it's front end smacked in by this little old lady trying to reverse park this morning.........

(Couldn't do anything to stop it, as I was viewing it from out the window of work).....

Forward she goes, back she goes....crunch...forward she goes...back she goes...crunch, thud as bits start falling off...:crybaby:

It has already happened... TAX time.

You might be in the clear now!

Painful thing is, I had just filled with gas, and suddenly there's 100ml or so on the ground - so there's another 5 bucks gone!

The lesson learnt: from now on I won't let any more cunts move or touch my bike.

dude a clutch lever costs like $20-40 bucks.

I had no idea he was moving it. Ordinarily, I would break any fingers I see moving my bike.

Dude, that's $20-40 I don't have.

I have a special power that allows me to blink, and my bank account gets emptied by the magic bill pixies.

[MyGSXF]

Has the person who dropped the bike got insurance?? :scratch: Under my contents insurance, if I damage other people's property, I can claim it on MY insurance, not theirs! :niceone:

IMO it's their responsibility to fix your bike.. they moved it without permission & they have damaged it.. so they need to fix it! :spanking:

well epoxy it back together?

real riders dont use clutches anyways :Pokey:

[007XX]

oH no!!! Stink news mate...:(

Like MyGSFX said though, surely there should be a certain amount of accountability held by the person who dropped it?

Hope you get it sorted with minimum hassle.

Hmm my excess is only $500 on the bike. (but it is only a Hyosung)

[shafty]

The person who moved the bike IS responsible - no question at all. If I had moved the bike (I wouldn't touch someone elses bike anyway BUT theoretically....) I would pay the total cost no question.

[zeocen]

Dude :(

:(

That sucks super balls, whoever moved it should be accountable for the damage! You know I have my day times free, when I'm back from the west I can come over and help you with whatever you need to get it back together.

[xwhatsit]

One good thing came out of it.

Now Mav will be forced to learn how to ride a real bike :D
