Jumped on the Busa to go to work, pulled out of my Court and in a split second I was on my ass watching my beast sliding away from me. Out of my own f*&^ing Court!!!!!!!!!
Combination of cold tyre, cold road and possible residue on the tyre from washing it yesterday.
Scratched up the RHS fairing really well with a few small cracks, bar end and a bit of my exhaust was scratched too. Minimal damage considering.
Will probably just leave the panel on and call it battle scars.
Good Morning (I think not!!!!)

Sucks indeed. Just got a price of $850 to replace the fairings.
Oh you poor bugger. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.
An absolute shit that it happened, but it is all repairable. I'm still glad that I got off lightly, as it could have been a lot worse.
On the plus side my boss gave me a payrise today so I can now afford to get new panels asap.
Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul, I'm sorry to have read the bad news. Glad it wasn't a major spill & that you are OK.
Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
