Tw*t of the year

[Von Short Hausen]

Yea, me !

Ok so I've got the crash bars roughly aligned, and in another 5 minutes time it'll all be tightened up and the bike will be safe....can you see where this is heading ?

Yes I dropped it !!! B*m, B*gger, Sh*t, Ars*

So I know what I'll be getting for my birthday now, feccing fairing panels.

And what really pisses me off is that it was the crash bars that did all the damage to the fairing

God, what a twonk. Should've taken up stamp collecting.

I wouldn't dwell on it too much - I guarantee there's not a man on this site who hasn't done as bad or worse!

However, having said that....

[Von Short Hausen]

Aww, thankyou

Bikers - they're a wonderful caring bunch

Sorry for laughing but i'm rather stressed today and need distraction.

seriously though, thats totally pants! I can imagine how you feel!. I remember with my previous bike, trying to losen the bolts holding the front brake caliper on and tried so hard that the bike went over. My wife heard the noise in the garage and came running in and helped me pick it up. DOH! It was on the side stand side that i was appling the pressure. felt rather crap must say. Your incident is rather ironic. the one thing your fitting to protect your fairing and its it that does the damage. Hope it doesn't cost too much for you to get it fixed.

[Von Short Hausen]

Yep, it is the irony that hurts. If I hadn't been fitting the bars, I wouldn't have been in the situation where the bike went over.

It's one of those occasions where I'm sure I'll laugh later - I'LL TRY THE BEER REMEDY

Bottoms up, everybody

I've managed 20 odd years without ever getting a headlight chipped by a stone. I fitted the touratech headlight guard in 2001. After a few years I took it off one day to clean it and didn't put it back the same day. You've guessed it, big hole right through the lense and the bulb shattered.

I'm refraining from laughing at you because my bike's perched at a very strange angle balancing on an axle stand with no front end in it.

So I feel your sorrow.

No, I do.

Hmmm, on that note - I'm currently looking out the window at the mother of all hail storms, did you do a rain dance to punish my laughing at you, short hausen???? If I don't keep it rubber side down on the way home tonight I'll know that the Gods of smugness aren't happy with me!

[wheeliebin]

For the record...................I didn't laugh at all

[Von Short Hausen]

Did you do a rain dance to punish my laughing at you, short hausen????

Hell No ! I often drive my little blue and silver train to Bedford, and I have nothing but admiration and respect for all the beautiful people who live there

As it happens there's a chuffing great storm coming through here (Kent) even as I tripe this - so obviously I've annoyed the Mighty Smug God also.
