Plastic fantastic woes

[superman]

So I was pootling along last week on my way to a $200 bar tab in the city (courtesy of my friends and I knowledge at the university pub quiz) when cars behind me begin to toot, flash their lights, etc.

I pull over, expecting maybe a puncture, or blinker that wouldn't stop.

Instead I see that the entire license plate bracket had snapped off and was hanging by the number-plate light cable. Taking some care in trying to figure out a way to ride it to the nearest bike-shop managed to hang the plate/rego/wof/platelight around a hook next to my cowl and proceeded to ride to Botany Honda

FUCKING CHEAP ASS TAIL TIDY! Let it be known I did not put on this tail tidy myself and that it was with the bike when I bought her 7 months ago.

Least she's all fixed now, over $200 later. Because some fucking prick didn't use the proper shit and did a cheap ass job at installing it only 2 years ago when the bike was born!

So lesson is... people are stupid douche-bags that will cut corners even on their own new vehicles!

Your lesson learned should be always to carry zip ties and duct-tape with you wherever you go.

Zip ties saved a Triumph T-bird after its throttle decided to fail.

You wanna see the half arsed job I'm in the middle of, scuff proofing an MX bike. It'd look better scratched and broken but there ya go............
