Well, not only did i almost die last night when some thought they didn't need to look when pulling out of a servo, my bike is now not so pretty as it was.

i open the front door this morning at tarrasque's house just in time to see a car reverse straight into my bike without even slowing down.

she was very sorry, and will get her insurance to fix it, damn bloody right! but its going to be a hell of a hassle as i leave for darwin on sunday....

damages, coolant needs to be drained and refilled,
2 front indicators
bent handle bars,
possibly bent front light stay
scratches on rhs rear fairing
front brakes need bleeding
clutch is now all out of whack and can;t find neutral

last night was so close, i thought that i was gone for sure. i managed to stop centimetres away from the rhs passanger door. they still hadn't even seen me so i chased them, pulled up infront of them in the middle of street and had some stern words about paying attention to what they were doing.

this does not bode well for my luck just when i am about to get on a plane. :mad:

Don't worry about the plane, you have used up all of your bad luck now. In those situations you can't do much, that's how I wrote off my previous 675.

Is that the 675? I've few spare indicators if you need them, let me know which ones you want. Which clip on did you bend? I might have a good one as well depending on which side you need. I got few bits here and there so just ask.

I'll be ok, unless you are flying Qantas, to Thailand, or India.
