This time I was moving though so it is more badly scrached. No one was hurt and no major damage was done. With the old analagy, I got back on ’the horse’ and rode to work (after a through check of course). I guess I just went around a corner too slow with too much lean.

I really have to stop doing this, it can’t be good for the bike.

Poor bike…

He scratched my bike!! http://brendon.davis.to/2006/11/16/scratched-my-bike/ http://brendon.davis.to/2006/11/16/scratched-my-bike/#comments Wed, 15 Nov 2006 23:49:11 +0000 brendon http://brendon.davis.to/2006/11/16/grrrr-he-scratched-my-bike/ I realise that by having any vehicle and leaving it parked in the open you risk having it damaged. But I would recommend never parking behind this guy.  Number Plate My bike was there first but he felt the need to park so close that he ended up scratching the faring. Tell you what, if he had cracked it or worse knocked the bike over I would have returned the favuor!

Here is the proof!The evidence

Moron!

I quote: 

To my fellow scooter or bike riders; new or old, I recommend reading “The Master Strategy Group“.  They have a wealth of tips and life savers. 

And he is right, an awesome site with loads of useful information. I definitely learned a lot and better understand how the bike actually works. Check it out but I warn you, there is way too much information to absorb in one sitting.

Now, no other bike has the same scratches as my bike does. :-(

On my way to nana’s the other day I stopped badly at a T intersection and the bike was off ballance. Fell to the left side and got a few small scratches on the front faring & mirror. Talking to Darren, from the bike shop the damage could have been much worse, I laid it down as gentle as I could.

 *mental note: Don’t use the front brake into a corner…*

I suppose next time I drop it at least it won’t hurt as much. :-)

And what a bike it is, A Kawasaki ER6F ’07. 650cc, V-Twin of riding goodness. I’m still getting use to the bike but I hope to soon be riding into the city each morning.

My New Bike  Me and my bike

As O’Neil would say, NICE!!!

As the bike is brand new (The odometer read ’1′) I have to wear in the engine, gearbox, tires, breaks. But I suppose I can live with that. Check out more photo’s at my Family Photo Gallery
