yep.....knew I should have stayed in bed.
Started badly by knocking an old boy off his bike while reversing out of my drive...(me not him)...buckled wheel, no physical damage.
And 10 mins ago my bike (TDM) only went and fell off the hydraulic bench......while having no back wheel, suspension or anti gravity device fitted....hence you'll see my scrounging , snivelling, tearfull plea for parts before long.
In fairness looks quite superficial......but expensive!!
Bright side, could have been on or under it.
Lesson learned....stay in bed !!
Thanks for listening.....cup of Yorkshire Tea in me Carpe mug and it looks better already.  Â  Â  ignthankspin:

Yeah...usually do! Fall was caused by opening the up and over door, which caught the top box that's not usually on the bike.....lesson definatly learned!!
