I just got home from the shops and I saw my poor baby lying there helpless on it's side.
After I stopped crying I picked it up and thanked the Lord that I bought my bike those crash mushrooms for it's Christmas present. They just saved me about £600 worth of fairing panels, mirrors and indicators.
I garage mine so the current wind isnt a problem. Yesterday I pulled it out of the garage, gently placed it on the side stand between the two cars on my drive, it just fits, so I could close the garage door. Usually I knock it into 1st gear to stop it sliding down the drive, as its quite steep, yesterday I didnt, so what happens as I close the garage door, Yep down she slides. Just managed to spin round in time and pull her back up the drive by the screen. Tough these Triumphs.
In a vain attempt to restore my street cred to it's previously low level:
I have NEVER driven,steered, ridden on or otherwise interacted in any way with, a Vespa or a Lambretta either in this life or any other!
In fact I've only been on a bike once. If memory serves me right, it was a Yamaha RD 250(?) I think, I was "backie" and to be honest, it frightened the s**t out of me.
Having said that, it was 23 years ago!
Now where was I? Oh yes, I remember.....
Shortly after, I graduated to 18 wheelers and I am still convinced they're a whole lot safer!!
<font color='#FF0000'>look raced a tuned lambi over the standing quater pissed all over a GT250m.

<font color='#0000FF'>My zx-12r is holidaying in the garage, along with the Z1100, the montessa cota and the half built 4.2 jag trike.
I'm putting up with the V8 camper and V8 range rover till the salt is off the road.
I don't know about that, did you have lollypop sticks in the spokes and no lights?
It's funny this should be leading this way, but do you remember the guys who didn't have motorbikes/scooters and used to run around on Choppers with leather jackets thinking they were "well ard"?
