| The idea is quite sound esp if for a bike you plan to keep. I managed to source several new tanks and a new seat unit for my beloved RC30. All genuine stuff which cost more than my ducati's worth so fired it up into the loft for safe keeping.
8 months later i discovered to my horror that a rouge mouse had decided it prefered the taste of hand laid fibreglass coated in superb pearl paint to the pipe lagging and had procceded to eat part of my new seat unit.
Sadly it turned out to be his last supper (bit too rich for his stomach) and was found dead near the crime scene which is a blessing as i would have torn the roof apart hunting the little git.
Anyway i would have been better off fitting the new stuff to the bike and putting the 9/10 stuff in the loft just in case. on the upside it was an easy repair. At the end of the day its just a bike made from plastic and metal, well thats what i was telling myself riding the RC30 back from wales on a very wet march day on salt encrusted roads. |
