But its too late for lectures now, sorry I dont have any parts for you but they look quite horny without the fairing on

Odd. You are clearly either very big and strong or very careful. I have done that many times. It is probably due to being a puny shortarse, with a penchant for heavy bikes.

Could lose a finger or two doing it that way as well. Not good advice for noobs.

BIG mistake, having seen where you work, now gives me liscense to constantly bug you about parts I need for my bike.

Starting with.....
But seriously tho, would the occasional pm requesting an inquiry, or two be O.K?

Ah damn, sorry to hear about this Bob.

I did something similar to my RF outside MotoMart a month or so back.

Mine was a very slow drop which only broke the mirror and scratched the zorst but its still a bummer when it happens.

An interesting thing about the RF900's is how bloody high all that weight seems to be concentrated. I still have moment when moving mine in the driveway. Also when going around a roundabout if you close the throttle too hard it seems to 'drop in' to the corner very quickly. Gave me a fright the first time it happened.

Anyway, best of luck getting the parts.

Yeah, like fuck - you could lose your tongue going down on your missus as well......

There are more dangerous things than lubing a moving chain when it comes to biking - I think 99.9% of people have some semblance of common sense - and for those that lose their fingers - I hope it prevents them riding because if you are that bloody stupid, you deserve it.
