Some of you may or may not remember that in Dec last year some idiot in a truck reversed over me whilst I was on my way to work.

This wasn't exactly ideal as I'd just spent a fair amount of time and money tarting the old girl up from how it was in the UK before I brought it over here

Anyway after months of wrangling with his insurance company they finally paid up and I decided it was time for a further freshen up. So after missing all summer I've finally got my beloved Speedy back on the road as of this morning and it now looks like this

I don't mind that Simon, it's the kind of colour that I could see growing on me.

That looks heaps better mate. The black with silver wheels looks very dated, but that looks much meaner and bang up to date. Very nice work!

Thanks people.I'm stoked with it and delighted to get back on the road.The colour looks awesome in the sunlight and really changes the look of the bike.
And Alfie no thankfully I didn't get hurt, all the pain and suffering came from dealing with the insurance company.It all came good in the end though cause I managed to get a decent pay out from them thanks to some well placed phone calls ahem :rolleyes:
