She will be mate. The fairing pannel scratching is pretty deep, think it might be farked, have to see if there's anyone who can fix the small but deep scratching with paint perhaps?

Sorry to hear Max hope to see it looking shiny soon buy a strap that goes round the disk lock then over the handle bar to remind you its on there
Heidi, I wasn' really that speechless when she went down, just dog-tired after too may 12 hour shifts and not concentrating.
Rod - I really do need one of those straps aye!
I park the bike right next to the window where my desk sits on the other side. I go mobile several times a night to say G'day to my guys but most of the time stuck down paperwork. The area our office is is pretty shitty for petty crime, we have lost cars from out the front to thieves and the Black and Grey is turning into quite a pretty bike. The alternative is a good alarm I suppose but the Zena disk lock has kept her on the step and she's not been thieved so some thing's working. Would a heap of blokes in uniform all carrying guns have that sort of effect?

them farking disc locks again, pay me a thousand and id never use them. sorry for your hurt max. better a scorpio alarm.
Sorry to hear the bad news mate.
I've got an alarm (now) but still use the disc lock (I'm not paranoid - who said I am?) when it's at home......
Time for the stretchy strap.......
edit: with all those spikes, considering you kept the leg under it, surprised you don't have a few "puncture" wounds to show off!
Not good Max.......sorry to hear about the damage to a very nice bike ...... did it once myself & I was wide awake at the time too...I switched to a Kryptonite cable lock instead.
Mate!! :( ouch! sorry to hear - I have done that as well.... tho I some how held her on - after that I flung the disc lock in to the harbour in Sydney where it happened lol never again to buy another due to that.
Hope it dont do ya in too much to fix it ;)
bad news bloke go have a jd. hope it aint to much to get her fixed!
Sorry to hear max hope you get her fixed up
That's a friggin shit Max - hope you get it all shiny without too much $$$.
Real trap for me as I don't use the lock consistently - only if riding to work.
More often than not you're at full lock getting out of parking spot (did it once). Then there's the other problem, put nice hardened padlock on the RG500 years ago, remembered it no probs - just sat there looking at it 'cos what I didn't remember was the farken key!

Bugger! Max!
Glad to hear your ok
I can relate to how you may of felt, I went to ride my bike of out of my car park one morning.: I forgot to take the disc lock off and I went down.
Fortunately I saved it from any major damage, because I was under it.
Thankfully 2 of neighbors came to my rescue and picked me up.
