well, what a wonderful christmas.
plenty of food, booze and presents.
my cousin has recently got her bike learners and bought a virago. (really its not too bad to ride)
anyway, took her for a nice leisurely ride into skipton for fuel and smokes (stayin at aunties place in caranballac).
park the bikes at the servo, on a slight downslope to the front right of the bike. walk away to get some somkes and i hear it. CRASH! "no it didn't" i turn "yes it f**kin well did!
gravel gave way under the front wheel, and it toppled over onto the left side. scratching top and side fairings as well as the ducktale, mirror, bar end, etc.
needless to say, i was a little pissed off and got into a punch-on with a brick wall. he may not have been Knocked out but i did some damage

anyway, will post some photos shortly.

My brother did something similar with his new GPX250 on its first real trip into the country. Friggin' gravel!

Bugger, sorry to hear mate.. It does happen to the best of us though

Does it? If I knew that all it took to join "the best" was to knock ya bike over in the car park, I would have done that ages ago!

Bad luck about the bike tho mate.

Bugger Vince tough break mate.

Any chance of getting a touch up pen from an auto paint supplier to lessen the pain ?.

I sure hate it for you. I swear every bike I've ever owned has fallen over at some point. I know how you feel, everybody wants to keep thier ride new forever.

Sorry bout the bike mate. Hope it's all fixed soon for ya

Mate, we all do it sometime. Pisses you off for a while when ya do.........trust me you will laugh about it eventually , not the end of the world, least you can still ride the bugger

Get the touch up pen, texta, stickers whatever and that will keep ya going until ya make your mind up what ya gonna do

Take it easy

I dunno about touch up paint, i don't think i'll bother anyway. it's not like it's gonna rust up on me.
rossi doesn't know it yet, but he's gonna help me respray it

but thanks for all the condolences guys.
