    Having a lie down........

    Hmm......seems my stalker has got bored and has taken to pushing my bike over in car parks whilst i'm not even on it!

    Never mind its only paint and plastic!

    It was never going to be unscathed weighing that much.!

    Stalker?! Sorry if its the first I've heard about it...

    Blimey! I'd be screaming for blood, in your shoes: I admire your aplomb, unless you typed all that whilst humming and running a machete over a whetstone... with a twitching eyelid.... In which case I'd back away slowly....

    What's the story? Someone seriously picking on your bike? Any chance of filming it over night?

    Pity you will get done more if you push them over. Pillocks arent they

    lol!!

    sorry for any confusion caused! my stalker is in my signature!!..... given the number of accidents I have narrowly not been party to of late.

    I'm either a slippery customer.......or to an observer, some sort of fletch/lampoons type walking catastophy!!

    My bike was parked on its centre stand on site on what I thought was hardcore. On closer inspection it was dust covered old chopped up tarmac they had put down as a temporary carpark surface. By mid afternoon it had the integrity of a sponge. A very black sticky sponge!!

    Back on the ropes for now m'dear doing a spot of demolition instead of putting stuff up!!



    Just gotta strip the cladding and take down the steel work behind it using the ropes!

    and guess what?!? see that pit in the bottom of the picture?.......well there is one the other side just the same.....but it's full of steaming, stinking household waste!! I assure you that if anyone ever asks you to work in a household waste incinerator tipping hall, it would be worth your while politely turning them down!!!

    Been there - done that , the sleeping bike thing , not the smelly rubbish , hanging from ropes thing !!.

    My first Pan European decided to have a wee rest against a petrol pump, I think it decided 250 miles since it's last fill was enough !!! and just SLOOOOOOWLY lay down against the pump. OUCH !!!! (that was the sound my credit card made , paying for the broken plastics !)
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    Fortunately the bike didn't fall against anything so just floor damage and the RT's tend not to actually fall right over.....they just sort of lean a bit!! Just gouged cylinder head, plastic and paint, thankfully no cracks (that I've found yet!!)

    Just realised today.....the pit I'm working over is full of building debris and water, and looks just like the waste compacter with the monster in from starwars!! don't want to be falling in there then!!





    Its easy....just don't look past your feet! like walking along a kerb as long as you ignore everything beyond it!
