    Hi Choma, and welcome.

    Harsh lesson to learn about lending your bike. I hope you can quickly fix what is probably only minor, but annoying, damage.

    Ciao benvenuto al forum!

    I once let a mate sit on my bike, only for him to hoof one of the indicators off while trying to swing his leg over......never again!

    Nice looking blade, welcome.

    As for the mate...I hope you bill him for it - about a dozen pints in compensation ;)

    Nice bike, I am partial to the Repsol livery myself. I hope your mate had the good sense to immediately offer recompense.

    Rule 1 of mates on bike - You break it you buy/fix it

    Huddersfield is popular all of a sudden. Unsurprising as it does have a few well known racers from there.

    It's all to do with geographics and the earth's gravitational forces.

    With no scientific reference (yet:)) I'm wondering if sperm might be faster up there? It's all relevant. you know!!:D

    Yep, that would do it!:D

    Interesting point you make about the hugger, @Wozza. I originally purchased an OEM hugger in blue because I thought it looked good. After having it on for a weeks weeks I felt it was overkill. Ended up buying a carbon one from @dansp1 . Although physically the same size, it looks much more 'discrete'.

    Everyone knows that I would never say a harsh word against Repsols:cool:, but the Repsol hugger is a bit 'out there'. Perhaps for comparison (and another photo opportunity:)) these show the difference:
