A hell of a week

Today has capped off a really crappy week for me bikewise...it started with a puncture in my rear tyre last week on the way home from work (then a 3 hour wait for a friend to bring a trailer and pick the bike up)....
After having the tyre plugged, it still seems to be leaking..
Then on my way home tonight, a farkin cabbie knocked my rear tyre and I went down. Luckily I managed to get back on but rode home with oil all over my boots (don't know how I made it home intact).
When I got home, I realised that I have a major oil leak from the casing being cracked, so I'm now up for repairs I can't afford
Sometimes I feel like giving it away...I probably won't but at the moment I am thinking about it.
Sorry for the venting, but I m sure others have had similar experiences when nothing seems to go right with the bike

Stay strong and it will all come back into place for you

Sorry to hear that.
But it's just a temporary thing
. Just remember, the next time you are on your fav bit of road, with the perfect weather conditions, feeling really good about yourself and having a madly enjoyable time...all that shit will be forgotten.

Aw, shitty!
Did the cab stop, or keep going? did you get his details/rego, or did it all happen too quickly? Poor bugger.
Dave has offered his help if you'd like a hand with repairs - the least we can do after your friendly SMS support last month.

Thanks Cath and Dave, I really appreciate the offer, but it's a bit far to come to do repairs! Will have to get the bike trailered to Caringbah on the weekend if I can.
Yep Jase, I think you're right

that's a bad week alright Colette, what a shitty run!
Hope you get the bike fixed up soon, and don't forget to check the rearshock, they often get damaged in a rear-end biff like that.
