It is, but my wallet isn't that deep. The carb, pipe, airbox mods wake the bike up quite nicely anyway.

Oh yeah

Well the pristine new DR is not as pristine and new as it was, cause some fucking asswipe knocked it over yesterday in the motorcycle park outside Wellington Motorcycles

No major damage but scratches to the left mirror, front guard, a small chip in the tank paint, scratches on the right side panel and a lower fork leg, and both mirror were bent right back.

No witnesses unfortunately.

Oh bugger dude. That sux. Did you park it there or did it happen while it was in shops care? If the later, then they are responsible for the repairs (under their insurance)

It's a council designated motorcycle park that just happens to be outside the shop. There's a bike park on either side of the shop separated by a crosshatched no parking area that allows the shop access to get bikes in and out. My bike was parked on the inside edge of one of the parks, right next to the access way.
It looks like someone has pulled across the access way and hit my bike while trying to get out again.

There is a slim chance the local council may have caught some footage on some security camera's but I'm still following that up.
