Some F**kwit knocked my bike over!

Found my bike lying on its side and I thought "what's the damage, here!"
got assistance to pull my bike upright and saw some minor cosmetic damage on a side panel (very expensive for a BMW).
blow to the ego, but I can handle that. Superficial damage - the bike still rides.
But whoa! Right rear indicator hanging in a downwards mode. Can't ride without indicators. Bugger!
Get practical - what's the assesment. New lens cover - $24 - you got to be joking!! Plastic weld of the mounting bracket - $15.00 - not too bad.

Not too bad for a total of $39 bucks to get back on the road BUT should look in my rear view mirror when I reverse up my drive. Double Bugger!!!!!
Also wrecked my wheel barrow when my bike fell on it - treble bugger!!!

Self inflicted pain really isn't satisfying then?

Dude, that sux with a capital S. I've hit the pole of my carport once with my handlebar and ended up standing up with a bike lying on the ground revving its nuts off between my legs. That was an expensive lesson (Indicator, mirror and paint)$155!!!! Oh and did I mention my 3 mates who witnessed, who give me no mercy to this day about it . 12 years ago guys get over it!

I'm totally guilty of self-inflicted wounds. Needed an oil change for the RAV, so pushed my bike out of the garage so I could get to my car. Wanted to buy 8 litres of oil - far too much to carry in the back box, so I took the car.
Reversing up the drive, I heard a mighty smack - what the f*** was that. Got out of the ar and saw the F650CS lying all over the wheelbarrow. Not only broken rear indicator broken and munged side panel but buggered whelbarrow tray. How shitty is that, especially when you're the total perpertrator of the whole event?
Only one solution - go fishing tomorrow and bring a fresh perspective to another day.
