My new bike came a cropper today

[my_r32]

i can have a look if you like but cant do the painting part :<

oh yep, that'd be great aye. I'm guessing the paint will be the expensive part though bugger is that it only got resprayed about 2 weeks ago.......

[Heineken]

Bloody hell you only just got the thing on the road and you've already broken it!?
My deepest sympathies!
Must cruise to you're folks place and have a look

Must cruise to you're folks place and have a look

yes you must. although it looks worse in person
I'll be home tomorrow night after 6.30 if you free then?

Anywho, toodled off down to the bike shop today to get the damage assessed. $119 for the wing mirror, $25 for the clutch lever - these are OEM genuine prices btw. Rear cowling alone was gonna cost around $400-$500 to fix.......so we decided to do an insurance job, since the excess is only gonna be $250. So i'm getting everything repaired back to the way it was before and it'll look like new again
......and I get it back for the weekend too

The broken peice is getting repaired. Hopefully they do a good job of it. It was pretty straight cracks mainly so shouldnt be too hard to plastic weld them

[Heineken]

Sorry I never made it round, been flat out, hows it looking now?
Dad was at SPV yesturday and said he saw it, got a new lever, no mirror and cowling was still broken, said it was very sad to see

Quicker and easier than trying to find another one I guess I just want the bike back, as long as it looks like it did beforehand, I'm not too worried aye
