| Best and worst way for me to have an accident
Hi all,
After spending all evening cleaning the chain, polishing the 748 etc. and then gently releasing the bike from the paddock stand it decided to fall to the ground. Even a futile attempt by my knee to stop it hitting the floor failed.
Anyway, picked the bitch up and expected to see cracked fairing, dented tank, seat unit etc. but I seem to have got away pretty lightly with the following:
Slightly scuffed lower LH fairing
Broken indicator (had a spare from my old Monster so no worried there)
Scuffed mirror (painted red)
Broken clutch lever
I keep telling myself that if I am going to drop the bike the best way to do it is at 0mph but I am still a bit miffed. I was going to have the v-piece painted anyhow as it has got a bit manky (luckily my father owns a paintshop) so I guess I'll have to do the other two pieces now as well.
I have put a request in on the For Sale/Wanted section, but would anyone have a reach adjustable clutch lever for a 748s (may well be the same on 9**) or know a good place to get one?
Cheers
