Oh no it didn't. Yes it did!

Post by diesel »

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 :D

anyway, will post some photos shortly.

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.
