I caught the back on my bike on my gate post at home & now have an inch scratch on it.

The bike is going in for its first service next week so was going to ask the dealer if they could touch it up. I assume this is something they can do.

On all altogether more bizzare subject. I been trying to get the miles on the bike upto 600, i.e service mileage, but the weather around here has been awful. Anyway, yesterday, I noticed that I had lost all feeling in the tip of my forefinger on my right hand. This wasn't whilst out riding, but whilst sat in a nice airconditioned office. My middle section of my finger went nearly black.
I can only assume that this is something to do with riding in cold temperatures in summer gloves. Hope it sorts itself out. Odd.

Just do what Sir Ranulph Fiennes would. Lop it off in the bath. You've got nine others...

Look on the bright side....You didn't drop yours with 4 miles on the clock, after 20 mins of ownership!! Pain in the ase though eh? i've got a load of small scrathes on the rear where my leg keeps scraping it when I get on/off.

Strange about the finger..... My fingers get pretty cold, but have always "come back" to normal... Hope they get better soon!

Yeah, it's lovely cheers....good fun, but I haven't tracked it yet... Bit upset about getting nailed by a Duc996/999 away from the lights last night though....Still, I like to think I let him go!!! It made a fantastic noise as it went past, so it was worth it.....
