    How can you not see a red bike?

    My poor baby........some moron reversed into it about 10 mins ago whilst parked at work.......silly thing was I was asked to move it just a few mins before.

    Luckily, not much damage as far as I can see, broke rear tail, end of Clutch lever broke...thanks Suzuki for the racing style levers, rear indicator and slight graze on exhaust.
    I didn't have bike on steering lock so front was straight so bike just seems to have fallen the way it was standing so even the Oggy knobs have not been scratched.......

    Just onto Insurer's.

    Bugger.

    Damn

    Always horrible when something like this happens.
    Hope you got the other person's insurance details.

    Hope the person who asked you to move wasn't the same one who backed over it!
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Bugger! Man that sort of thing really gets you into wind up mode.

    If it's a work colleague, get them on the ground in an arm lock and don't let them go till they cough a grand.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    I am pretty laid back but did tell him that he was lucky he was still standing........not a violent person and doesn't do any good anyway.

    Get your 'counsellor' to deal with him - bet she could
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

    It would take a very good slap to down a man.

    Well that's what I'd do anyway....
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    Mate, I feel for you. This sort of damage is a pain to get sorted and always seems to take longer than it should, and cost more than it should.

    Hope it all works out.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
