thought I had better get round to chucking a rag at the rex after last weekends escapades around Yorkshire and the poring rain :storm: :storm: in Oxfordshire. so today, broke out the cleaning kit and gave her a dammed good seeing to. just about finished, with only the front wheel to do, so for ease I decided that sticking me trolly jack under the exhaust would get the wheel up so I could rotate it for cleaning. I have done this numerous times before but today, as the front wheel cleared the ground, over she came. luckily, most of the bike landed on me and the crash bungs so I have gotten away with, just completely destroying the front left indicator, 19.99 from e-bay (delivered Tuesday ) Oh and I had to restraighten the gear change. Damage to me is some minor bruising. So Burchy, next time you pick me bike up for being dirty its F**king Staying that Way Of course, plan B is to move to Glasgow and let M8 adopt me. ;D

:mut: :mut: Les when I saw this post I had to look twice as I thought it was from wee Brakey as I think he has a tale to tell also about cleaning your bike being dangerous Les if your ever passing don't hesitate to drop in for any fix up & polish. OK que Brakey

Think you're supposed to put it on the rear paddock stand first before attempting to jack it up

Don't understand Karen's point. All seems perfectly sensible to me to talk to the bike
