You can say that again!!

I tried booking a month or so ago and it said there were no available spaces past the 1st of jan, so i was assuming that they hadnt put the dates out for 2009 yet, thanks for reminding me, will check now!

But at the very least, get 3rd party property for "next time" if you've not got it already. Oh and forgive me for the gender reassignment, i was kinda on a roll just correcting Philthy there and managed to miss that minor detail

............shoooooosh
Doesn't matter where you are parked, it's the responsibility of the driver to watch where the fuck they're going.
Arsehole in a Barina backed into my bike which was parked in a No Stopping zone & the fucker thought that was his get out of jail free card.
Took a photo for the insurance company who said it didn't matter if I parked on the footpath - still the other driver's fault.
$2500 of fucked fairing, exhaust & broken rearset.
Prick of a ride home with no footpeg & a slab of stubbies in the ventura bag.

No worries there.
All fixed by Collide-A-Scope in Hornsby at no cost to me.
Good luck with the bus company

My last off had a bill of $3500 and it only had a few scratches .... so yes, it gets expensive very quickly...
