i get up at 3am this morning, in work at 4am then get a phone call from my dad asking if he can use my buffer to polish up his forks, as i am at work i tell him he is welcome to go round as my wife is there to give him the keys to the garage.

so my dad goes round he unlocks the garage, he unplugs the battery charger, turns of the alarm and sticks the keys in the ignition to undo the steering lock then reverses the bike out the garage.

only problem is he FORGOT to take of my bloody disc lock which has made a very large hole in my front mudguard and jammed between the disc and the fork took me half an hour to remove the lock with out doing any further damage.

sadly the front mudguard is beyond repair its cracked and split and being red it really notices

apparently thou its my fault because i dont use a "disc lock reminder cable" i pointed out to my father that i dont need to as i am not a forgetful old git like he is and in 20 years of riding i have never once forgot to take it off.

its going to cost £220 quid for a new one that is color matched

bloody parents who'd have em

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

They're good at that. My dad managed to crash my car in to a fence a few years back. Totally my fault according to him.. I wasn't even in the same county! haha

well he has only got 4 more years before he retires i can put him in a home then lol of course i will have to look after his bikes as the retirement home wont have a garage lol

Consider a CF one as an interim?

Probably cheaper.....

Consider a CF one as an upgrade.

Mine is the GenII Mille shape - I think it looks nicer than the Falco one (but then beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder)

A carbon fibre dad ? ?
Cool

did think about a CF one but i love the fire red color so much i wouldnt want to spoil it i already have a CF belly pan which is about as much CF as i want on her, my dad has said he will pay for a new one and even thou it was his fault i will still feel guilty taken his money (god knows why i should sue him for the traumatic distress he has caused lol)

Hi mate

Ive recently bought some bits from a chap called Adam great quality from a broken falco he mistakenly sent me a RED front mudguard complete with fender extender which I didn't need I returned it on Thursday or Friday last week now I think its off the red and black later model but may be of use to you.

He's on 07585110811

Hope this helps

many thanks for the info sadly thou my bike is in red fire and i really want to keep it all the same color

I'll have a look - I've got some red fire plastics - not sure whether there's a mudguard in there.

Sorry no sympathy here, YOU should have told him it had a disk lock on.

Beyond repair? Not for a decent body shop.

dunno I've seen Squid and his body is definitely beyond repair at any shop at any price
