Another Reason Never To Wash Your Bike

A relatively warm day today so I finally got a chance to wash my bike. It's not the weather and road salt that's damaged my gleaming pristine bike though...

There are scratches all down the LHS with some cracks in the fairing, and the fuel tap is missing!

Over Christmas the bike was parked at my girlfriends flat in the communal car park, and some cock must have knocked it off the stand and picked it back up again. The damage isn't major - but a note and offer to repair it would have been nice?!

I'm sure it was an accident - most likely some twat reversing into the space my bike was in, but what do I do now?

We don't really speak much to anyone else who lives there or even see them much, but do you think it's even worth trying to ask around? And if I do then what?

I'm a little bit pissed off.

methinks Jamz has fell off in the ice bumped his head and forgot all about it or his trying to hide his shame for a) falling off in the ice b) being stupid for riding his nice new bike in the ice.

probably why he's gone home sick too ..... does your boss know your washing your bike? or are you washing the puke off? :smt003

you'll be a lucky bunny if anyone owns up to it .. i know i wouldnt !

however, your note could claim that you have cctv footage/witnesses and that you're just asking for the guilty party to come forward before calling the police ?
