Happens to us all sooner or later I suppose, was going round a roundbout it the pouring rain on saturday, the bike just seemed to slip away from me frown, the bike low sided, not too sure what happened, I check the tire pressures weekly and certaily wasnt going too fast, all I can trace it back to is the crappy tyres.

I was fine, I always wear full kit and the bike wasnt too bad, I broke both indicators, the bar end, the rear brake lever and the foot peg (all of which are getting repaired this week) and put the nasty scrape on frown Cant believe it happened.



This just leaves the nasty scrape to fix, has anyone ever had any experience with getting something like this repaired?

Thanks,
Grant

I suspect a tad of petrol or diesel on the road was the fault here.

Surely it can be fixed with either Duct tape or WD40 ?

Have a look on e bay, or give Dream Machine a call, bad luck about the bike, but it usually happens to everyone at some time, at least you are OK. Chin up.

Or.. ask the dealer if you can buy the stickers, and pop to a local garage and see if they can match the colour.

It's a p!sser eh? Still you walked away (it would appear) so that's good news. It really does get on your t!ts, but don't worry about it. Couple of hundred quid and it'll be as good as new.

As above, prob a bit of diesel or petrol on the road.
