That's torn it then. Can't be riding a watercooled bike now.......

Which is actually not strictly true with my 900ss ie. The mirrors are the widest parts, with no luggage fitted. But with a set of Oxford saddle bags, I did accidently give a car's offside mirror a good whack one time. I thought I'd made it through, mirrors having fitted like. Then CRACK! behind me. Oops.
