Scratched engine case, bent exhaust, slight scratch in mudguard, snapped brake lever and scratch bar end on a 'just got back as new bike' Brilliant!
What happened blew it over while it was stood up? Didn't realise you'd had a bump on it already, that's typical do you think you can repair it easily enough?
cheers guys..no I wasnt on it..the wind caught it thorugh the night..weve had 40-50mph wind down in Southsea/Portsmouth last night and today.. I had a off on it a few months back ans was repaired so it was a brand new bike pretty much..not anymore though
Gutted mate, not far from you same very strong winds here mate, took out whole line of our fence last night!!
The zorst was bent slightly against the swingarm so ive pulled it back out and luckily its not really noticeable..Tbh if i keep it il be putting a diff can on it soon anyway I suspect... Poor bike..doesnt hardly get used..3K on the clock on a 58model and when its not being used its getting knocked over!
Pi$$er, just shows how that wind can whip up, after spending all that time repairing the bike to have it blow over Couple of eye bolts into the ground and some straps perhaps? had a very lucky escape with mine the last lot of gales we had, fixed a fire exstinguisher to the shed door and the wind caught it and it flew out of the bracket as the door slamed, luckily it hit the rear tyre but it just goes to show, hope you get back to sorted soon.
Dam it mate, sorry. A neighbour lost her chimney pot, it went through her conservatory roof. Same strong winds in Fareham. Are you in the Army? Did 22 years in 1 Para myself. I'm sure if you ask Arthur he might be able get some cheaper parts.
Will always quote parts for people mate, sometimes can do good deals but its hard to beat most dealers as Honda play hard ball with small fry like me..
That's must be hard to take especially just after you've had it repaired, at least you wasn't riding it. all the best with the repairs.
May be a couple of quid over the odds on prices, but I will where possible always support the small fry over the dealers, a good service and courtesy are always worth the extra IMO.
