The sv is dead!! Long live the sv

I remember the day she was droped off at home like it was yeasterday, a gleaming deep blue with some lovey shiney yoshis attached the side, not a mark on the entire bike, I was in

.

Fast foward 1 year, 3 months, 18 days later, and there she lies broken in the middle of road, disconected from rider with a women ratteling off the all to familiar phrase every daily comuter never wants to hear but always does "I AM SO SORRY, I JUST DIDNT SEE YOU". I wanted to go off my nut at this women, but personally I find it really hard to

yell, screem, and generally beat the living shit out someone who is shaking so bad I wanted to cheeck the rictor scale and crying into the arms of her car passanger.

Right so damage report, I am quite confident the bike will be a right off, bent forks, fucked fairing, fucked belly pan, front brakes dont seem to be working, scratched and dent tank, gravel rash on rear tail peice, and somthing is bent in the exhust. As for me a body that just knows it is not going to be able to move tomorrow

.

About the only peice of satisfaction I am talking out is the fact that the car had to be towed away as well (

I dont do things by halves)

Crikey

glad to hear you are relatively okay ... while you are on the mend, I guess it will be the usual rounds of telephone tag and sighing wistfully at new bikes on the interdweeb...

Always a bit of close calls on them commutes eh

but it is very sad to hear when someone actually gets hit like this ,hope your ok mate and your not off two wheels for too long !

Your SV was a true friend.

It laid down its life to save you.

Glad you personally survived in one piece.

Hope the new SV isn't too many weeks away.

Good luck.

Yep full insurance, my broker already knows most of the details. Unfortuently full replacement cost clause in the policy ran out 3 months and 18 days ago
