Went to the beach, stopped at the brick house on the sea wall and ordered the only drink with a limit. :slight_smile: Had bad ass food and went and explored my birth place.

Been a crazy day at the office. First we had to escort this little guy out. They are venomous, but besides a lot of pain and some vomiting they are not fatal.

IT guy went to check on the servers and found a snake trapped in two sticky traps. We thought we were going to have to euthanize the poor fella until someone read to use vegetable oil. Closest we had was popcorn oil, but we were able to get the little guy free.

So I got my bike back yesterday… Damage is as follows… Snapped steering lock. And the head for handlebars in the process. Ignition barrel. Riders right peg. Ripped seat. Cracked seat cowl. Scratched mirrors (half an hour with wet and dry will sort that)

Today I accomplished 2 things. I ordered a nice shiney new pair of slightly upgraded rearsets. And managing to find some positives out of this bastard weekends events.
I get to play around and make the bike my own now with a few cheeky purchases from the new jobs wages when they land.

I’m not claiming on my insurance. It’s all out of pocket unfortunately. UK insurers are more crooked than the bastards that stole the bike. I could claim now. But loss of no claims bonus would mean that the payout I receive wouldn’t warrant the premium rise for next year. And for them to payout I would have to pay a compulsory excess of £600. And a “voluntary” excess of £250. Those maths mean I would likely end up about £2.5k out of pocket over the course of the next year or I pay for parts. Pretend to my insurers. None of this happened. Fix the bike myself.

My good friends asked me if I wanted the little pricks dealing with. No comment should deal with that bit :rofl:

Edit basically the only thing my insurance is good for is stopping me getting pulled by the police bro

Hell it could have been a POS beater bike and I’d still be mad, but I understand the even more anger because it was your brand new virgin baby​:pensive::cry:

I never had a bike that new bro but i would still be raging if anyone stole one. Never happened though, not worth stealing :grin:

I managed to get a big performance gain from my old 3 series today. It only cost 50p and took 5 minutes.

I inflated 3 soft tyres :joy:
