Shadow RTA


Saul

Recommended Posts

Been fiddling with and swearing at expensive plastic all morning.    Surprisingly fiddly and impressively strong when back together, given the impact I would have expected it all to be in 1000’s of pieces but it held up well considering.  
just about ready to put everything back on Shadows bike and now it’s pissing down FFS

Also still have to fit the new footpegs and throttle grip  

I actually repainted the crash bars and exhaust yesterday as well as fitting the new number plate and touching in a few scratches.   She is down with D&V so no pressure from her, thank goodness, at this moment. Still got to move her headset from the old helmet to her new one as well.

Be glad when she is back on the road, she has not mentioned it more than once every half hour for the last 8 days.   🤣

£750 wrapped in cardboard 😳

Repaired dash back on and working

Well all fixed.    Shadow is in bed with flu so no riding today.   
And yes Fred I refused to drill the new screen so I told Shadow she will have to live with the creases.

I’m sure she will be over the moon.

Yes she is chuffed.  But going through typical teenage dramas so a bit distracted and sick so not really a ray of sunshine at the moment. 

One good thing she has kicked the boyfriend into touch.  😉  Didn't mind him to be honest, I didn't like the rides home from Luxulyan in the dark, dodgy road.  😳

Good man LOL
A hair dryer when your fitting it might help you get the creases out if she's that bothered about it

I may have a go when it's dry but Shadow is so chuffed to have her freedom back she isn't obsessing about it quite so much.    But that could change, she is a teenage female after all.   🤣

I just can't wrap my mind on the size of those liscen plates you guy's have...doesn't that catch in wind ?

They plate has to be of a legal size and size of letter font, it makes it easy for the ANPR/Traffic light/Speed cameras to take a photo of it.. 😂

Shadows been out for her maiden voyage since the RTA.   Bikes all good but she did comment that the foot controls felt different but understood when I told it was because her foot pegs were no longer bent 🤣.   Still I am happy she is back out there with her confidence intact.   😎  

Loves her new HJC LID
