    Has anyone NOT done that at some stage.
    My excuse is that the bike was parked in the garden and was blown down
    by a strong gust of wind which also took out some fence panels.

    I've never snapped a clutch lever.

    I always work on once the money has changed hands, I never touch the
    vehicle.

    This point proved itself when two Essex wide-boys came to buy my
    brother's R6. They did the deal and handed over the money, then came
    to load it into their van. I subtly held my brother back in the
    garage and let them push it out and up the plank into the van. As I
    said to him later, imagine if you'd pushed it up and it'd fallen?
    They came pretty close to dropping it themselves.

    Heh it's a really nasty gold colour that clashes with the red paintwork too
    ;o)

    I thought it was standard fitment. The red and Senna grey coloured bikes
    in the wikipedia entry have gold coloured levers.

    I like it.

    Wonder if I can get the seat recovered in some Burberry check tartan ...

    Did she spend 5 minutes saying '****' a lot, followed by 'I think it's
    broken?'
    Pah, amateur, try over 4 months. Though I can now lurch without them
    it gets very tiring, very quickly.
    I didn't look to see if there were any more dents and scratches.
    It would have been yet another missing brake lever abroad for me.

    Almost certainly
    Not until the next morning, having ridden home and realising she couldn't
    get off the bike again, without help.
    She's not off them yet...

    Yeah pathetic. Didn't even keep on drinking or make her own way home taking
    her weapons of war with her.

    Oh I don't remember that bit. Saying it or hearing it.
    I did suggest that it could be strapped up and I'd carry on. Then I
    tried to stand up...

    Physio have officially discharged me today, on the grounds I can be
    trusted to do my exercises without having to come in.

    There was a lot of fucking , a little bit of gasping but no snapping.
    There was some strapping action but not till the morphine had you away
    with the fairies.
    Whahey - how long till you can support a bike?

    I've already sat on it and lifted it off the sidestand. I told physio
    about my being able to stand on the bad leg for 60 seconds before
    riding idea and she said 30 seconds would be fine, to avoid steep
    cambers on the first ride out and not to break it again as she never
    wants to see me again :)

    Whether the poor thing will start is another matter, I'm off to London
    this weekend but think I'll try for my first ride next weekend.

    It was around the time the bike was being lifted off you.
    You were still trying to convince them to put some strapping on and shove a
    boot on over it when you were in the hospital with your foot propped up in
    the perspex sex toy. This was when you were slightly drifting in and out of
    consciousness and I was trying to convince you that you'd been there ten
    days already, but before you were wheeled out into goods inwards to get a
    phone signal so you could gibber at TBC.

    I can't remember that at all but I'm very proud of my complete
    stupidity and stubborness.
    That's where I can remember from. I gesticulated in your general
    direction.
    I remember that bit very clearly, I had to hand you the phone as the
    reality of the situation suddenly caught up with me and I cried like a
    girl.
