    ....pulling out of a garage. Just had two new tyres fitted and I as I
    was pulling out I reckon I turned too sharply. Tried to stop the bike
    going over but it still went.

    Cost to bike: cracked fairing, broken indicator and slightly bent gear
    selector. Cost to me, pride, one aching calf muscle and £25 to get
    fairing welded. Amusement to onlookers [1], priceless.

    [1]The fitter, another customer and 3 members of the firm's race team.
    To be fair they did wait about a minute to make sure I was ok before
    taking the piss.

    Nor me neither! I only dropped my bloody GPz900r doing a U-turn in the Close
    right outside my house. Nice few digs in the paint on the fairing and 2 new
    indicators. Arse. It's been 20 years since I had an 'off' at walking pace.
    Mine you, rather that than at higher speed.

    Did it have a lay down on the same side or the other side, as before?

    The same side. It appears to have a penchant for the left.

    It happens. Dust yourself down and forget about it.

    In
    PR I hope?

    I'll be speaking to Chunky, John, Planet and Adam tomorrow, so I'll be
    passing some grief via Ringo.

    Sheesh.

    Hope the bike looks better than Ringos Hornet!

    The one and only.
    I could torch my bike and it would still look better than his Hornet.
