Good to hear you're getting it all sorted bike repair wise but , "IF I get back with her, then at least we've learnt a lesson." Are you sure?
Don't you hold a grudge like any normal human being?
Must be true love then.
Get something in writing from her next time - some kind of prenuptual damage limitation clause - I'll draft one for you, if you like. (not properly qualified to do so but I'm sure I can come up with something that would scare the pants of her if she did it again).
