so, i picked up my newly faired 01 mille today - what a joy! so glad to have her back, and i take it back, after 6 weeks on a lacklustre 750 il4 - the mille makes a master roooooooooar even with the oem zorst.

so 4 hours after collecting it... i dropped it. on the other side! god damnit lol.

Luckily, it was the scud missile side (hadnt put the akra back on after the mot yet thank god), the new crash bobbin once again did its job, so the only damage?? the orange lense on the front right indi

Has anyone got one they wanna sell?? cash and thanks waiting ;) way too embarassed to go back to my local prilia dealer lol.

By the way - the culprit of my drop was a 'lucky' 8ball keyring that my friend Sarah put on my keys - it got stuck between my yoke and tank stopping me turning right, luckily it was in a car park at low speed, but the lack of turning freaked me out and i tried to stop it but nevertheless it fell... whata day haha,
 
what crash protectors you got? when I had a 5mph spill on mine, its a bloody write off, £6k worth of damages.
 
A lad I know called stu has one (well one of an 03 if they are the same. I saw it the other day.

This is his website. Phone him he'll answer over the weekend too, name drop me (just say gaz) and he'l sort you out :)

You poor bugger. Sounds like you have a sense of humour about it though and it could've been ALOT worse so I guess you can afford to laugh about it now. Lucky 8 ball hey, mmmm.....:eek:ops
