not really the date at fault - more me being an absent minded twat. Took the Mrs on the bike at the weekend so I obviously removed the seat cowl. Got back and just placed it on the bike. “I’ll bolt it up later” I thought to myself. Rode to work this morning, got nearly all the way and suddenly remembered I didn’t bolt it up. Turned round to see it was gone! Went back and found it. Obviously scratched to hell. Just priced a new one - OMG.
Doh. Did that with a top box. Didn't lock it down properly and went for a ride to work. Got through the 30mph bimble, until the first national limit straight where I opened her up.... BANG, SCRAPING, plastic everywhere.... Oops!
I feel your pain!! Few of my buddies have done the same over the years.... infact my mate Dave holds the current record of losing 4 seat cowls, two number plates, one heal guard various wheel strips and a tank pad! never to be seen again... Hope you get it sorted ok
Did it with my wife once where I got all the way home and realised she was still in the shop! Ha ha Every cloud has a silver lining
we had a sliding door fall of a vivaro van yesterday. taking a right at a busy traffic lights right out side Oban high school. the lad was picking it up from a test and got a right slagging from the kids. he was fugging raging when he got back to the workshop. the customer forgot to tell us not to touch it. he had another away getting sprayed up ready for fitting.
By the time it’s painted and I’ve purchased the decals (around £80 for the decals) and replaced the black pad, there’s not much in it.
Ouch ! I think i would buy the new one,sell the damaged one on flea bay,save a lot of hassle and you know its perfect again .
