The case of the disapearing mirror

**Ms Piggy** · 17th January 2005, 18:50

I usually park my bike down on Mercer St outside that tramping shop. I can actually see it from work...well om it's a speck but I can see it.

Today when I got on at the end of a loooooooong day I noticed that the mirror for my RHS wing mirror was gone! Just the miror though, the rest of the wing was still there.

To be honest I didn't notice until I was just about at The Basin (I had been using my head and looking behind me rather than relying on my mirrors

). I honestly don't recall seeing any glass or anything in at the bike park and I just wonder if my bike blew over or was knocked and picked up. I'm gonna ask the guys in the tramping shop...not that it will really help. I noticed when I got home that my rear brake pedal (??) was hitting the engine casing, so thats what made me think the bike may have fallen over.

Hmmmmmmm....F5_Dave, I may be in need of your enormous tool again!

My bike got blown over/knocked today aswell from willis st. sux, fairing broke, handlebar bent, front brake handle clean off, footpeg for rear brake came off too. another scary thing. was walking through manners mall and a white plastic deck chair came flying up from the alleyway between paris texas and starmart and hit this girl in the leg and climbed the stairs to mcdonalds. it could have easily been much worse.

Well I think we should all see pic's of F5_Dave's "enormous tool"...
So then maybe a poll could be run.... to see if it is actually the biggest tool amongest all tools........lol

Yeah, good wind today (not mine). Watched a piece come off the Ricoh building fly over the road, over one car and into the front of a van in the next lane.

Piece of steel (I think) about 3 metres long and 300mm wide.

Spectacular.

sorry to hear the bitchin mobile has lost her mirror, they are quite cheap to replace around $11 for the last one I bought, but it isn't the point, if she fell over with the wind someone picked her up again, so I'm thinking it's more likely a person did it and then took the offending ( broken) mirror away.

It's great! I take it as a challenge - get to where you want to go and stay upright and you've succeeded for the day! It's usually ridable but the gusts between buildings are what can really get you.

It probably was blown over in the wind - it was very gusty at times yesterday - crossing at the Taranaki St/Wakefield St lights around 5pm I got almost blown over, and as those of you who know me know, I am not a person of slight build.

I remember you actually warning me about that parking spot ages ago Lynda

Oh well the damage wasn't too bad considering - Yay for bikes built like a tank!
