"One careful owner and one fuckwit who threw it down the road"

 

Statto says...

It is your old one then? I thought so.

He's not showing the scrapes to the RHS engine bar, nor mentioned the
Snottoiler. I quite like "Very good mechanically" - the Kawasakis are
pretty indestructible. Regular oil + filter changes; shims checked on
time and various other consumables replaced courtesy of SpeedySpic
motorcycle fettling services.

 

Statto says...

You left the Scottoiler on? You Muppet.

 

I'd bodged the fitting big time. Disassembly would have required even
more bodging - I'll relay all the gory details next weekend and you
can add appropriate embellishment to the "Muppet" moniker.

No, the highly effective "At least I've got a bike" riposte.

I'm sure if you were sad enough to look at picture 2, supersize it and
examine it closely, the apparently narrower width of the chickenstrip
would be revealed.

Ah. Oops.
