Motomax: You’re pretty lucky so far..
Me: Yeh, I keep hearing “it coulda been much worse” (thinking about my neck issues)
Motomax: Yeh, I mean a couple snapped mirrors, some fork seals and scuff marks.. You’re doing pretty well!
Well I suppose I was paying him to worry about the bike, not me

And its not because we catch up for tea and cucumber sandwiches either…
Motomax: Hi Motomax, Ric speaking
Me: Hi this is Renée, I’m just enquiring about foot break levers for an XV250 Virago..
Motomax: Renée… *pause* What have you done to that bike…?
Shame shame shame…

So I went on the Ladies Trakdayz up at Barbagallo weekend before last. If you’ve read Skit’s blog you’ll see the Spada and I more or less piked at half time. Neck’s still sore, have to see the Dr at some point and get her to pound it back out for me. And the Spada currently has one mirror, just waiting on the second bracket to re-attach the other one to match..
So I got bored on Sunday, printed out some directions, sticky taped them to my tank (so squidly) and told Rob to gear up for a ride. We went to Araluen, bit of a wedding location scouting trip I guess. It started raining so we headed for the bikes and buggered off- and I low sided the Virago halfway through a round-a-bout. Ground off the edge of the foot break lever, and bent the screw that adjusts it’s height. A few flat spots along the right side sticky-outy-bits, but nothing that can’t be filed and polished up I s’pose. The palm of my right glove has a little gravel rash, and I pulled a stitch on my kevlars, but again, nothing that can’t be buffed out..
Yes boys and girls you read that correctly. I have binned two bikes in two consecutive weekends. Someone must be lookin’ out for me as there has been minimum damage on both occasions. Mostly I’m just p*ssed off!
Now, for the love of all that is good, no body let on to my Grandparents! I’m looking at you Robbie!
