First faller of 2005.

Chris ST4 · 02-Jan-2005, 16:09

Didn't even manage to get off the estate

Brand new tyres, and before I know it, it's gone down on the L/H side

Now looking for replacement mirror, clutch lever, bar end, front fork spindle & nut and a little cosmetic work on the fairing. Leathers well scuffed too.

Great start to 2005, and I get made redundant at the end of January just to put the icing on my New Year cake

sorry to hear that mate

Sorry to hear chris what a shame hope your back on the road soon, I wish these faired dukes came with more protection after dropping mine at less than 10mph done like £250 of damage

Thanks guy's...I'm OK just mighty pi$$ed off

Searching the web for replacement parts just now, but mirrors seem to be hard to come by...can't imagine why

Have an interview for new job on Wednesday, so fingers crossed for that. If successful will be looking to "invest" the severence money on another bike....999 or 998S
