Im a new member to this illustrious club as of Sunday. After coming home sat night to find my flatmate had MURDERED my goldfish (R.I.P Fishy) by leaving him on the balcony in the sun, I went to work on Sunday and dumped Betsy (My beloved 3 month old Z750) turning left of the harbour bridge. LHS is trashed and a nice hole in the engine cover let all her vital fuilds drain onto the road. Stiff shoulder and lots of skin off leg (wearing work pants) and Betsy languishing in the crapark looking very sad. Claim filed with Swann and Sydney City M.C coming to pick up tomorrow. I hope she pulls through cause she is too big to flush down the toilet to join Fishy.

Maybe if ya get a tank thats too big to move.
Hope they fix ya bike or get ya a new one and skin grows back eventually, maybe some pain and suffering there.
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

Aint that the truth Aardvark though the headlight cowling looks very second hand. Once I glue it together I might try and buff the scrathces out!

Sorry to hear of the off Bart.
