    It seems to be a nipple in space with a rocket ship coming in to dock with it, by means of a tractor beam.

    It all becomes clear.
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    Could it be they're trying to shake off their fairings?

    I think someone is trying to tell you to get another bike. Either that or Goid hates you? He hated me and my CG125, has 4 accidents on that before I got the hint.

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    You have my sympathies mate but, I'd be following Jackrats suggestions.
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    i really feel for you with all this totally unessecery damage happening to your bike, perhaps the best course of action is Jackrat's suggestion of locking your bike to an immovable object wherever possible, not always possible i realise, there is some plastic stuff you can stick on the fairings to protect the paintwork, but i'm not sure it's worth the expense now the damage is done.
    an alarm sounds like a good idea, nothing like shaming people away from your bike lol!

    This week, I am going to get it blessed by a catholic/christian/maori priest and a buddhist monk if I can. No harm in over protecting it.
    Park it on the "Killer Highway" when they do the exorcism.. (yes, I'm serious, this got more coverage in the local paper than the bike show)

    Well, I have taken some advice and this week the bike is getting blessed by a Maori Elder.

    Going to also find a priest to bless it.

    Spoke to the insurance guy this morning, and all is sweet there!

    Explained the situation and what has been going on, only have to file the one claim because damage was done to the same spots as the first time.

    Matt (rat) black it

    Hold your fire on the insurance claim for the meantime. Matt black doesn't show shadows. If you want to PM me I can hook you up with stretchy signwriter's vinyl, at cost, to cover the bike and it would look totally evil, nobody would dare push it over. Since I feel so sorry for your situation I'll do you a couple of suzuki decals for free.
    Do it this way and you can have another stack on it and then go for the doctor on the insurance. Presumably you're on your restricted for awhile yet and then you'll be selling it to get something bigger. Come time to do it up back to original you can heat it with a hairdryer and peel it off. Your insurance co should allow you to hold over the claim for at least the rest of the term of the policy, maybe longer if they share the logic in potentially only paying out once on paintwork.
    In the meantime the vinyl will disguise the damage and you'll have the stylieest gsxr in town for about $40 to $60 worth of HP vinyl and a couple of hours of your time.

    Friday some jerk dropped his bike on to mine, which pushed it over damaging the entire right side of my bike. Someone picked it up, didn't put it on the kickstand properly and the wind pushed it over.

    Today, the guy who brought my Kawasaki came to pick it up, took my Suzuki for a ride....and....CRASHED IT!

    There was no new damage to any parts that were not damaged before, which I am thankful for!

    Funny thing is, not once have I been near the bike when it has gone down!

    My philosophy now is, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY BIKE! When I get it repaired, it is going into a glass cage never to come out again!

    I suppose it could be worse, I could be dead. Oh, my wallet is feeling the pinch!

    Dunno about the rest of the people here but I find a healthy respect from other people when they know that I'll kick the shit out of people who mess with my bike
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Hey thanks so much for that offer, just a little too late though, the bike has gone through the assessment from Wgtn M/c, the claim form is with the insurer and the assessor is signing of on it on Monday. Sounded like a fantastic idea though! Maybe that is what I need, to make my bike look like a don't fu*k with me or the owner bike.

    Talking about the insurance company, went in there today, said, I need to pay my first premium please, did that, got the receipt, and then said, here is my claim form, the look on the guys face was worth all the hassle.
