There insurance company is stalling as it happend on a private road.
I have straigthened it out enough to use but she doesn't feel the same I,m hoping it's just in my head as the clocks are still twisted.

I would agree with Bryanj. Private road doesn't mean its not a thoroughfare, just that the council etc don't maintain it, and may be if the cable company want to dig it up to lay the latest networks they have to ask the freeholders etc etc.

Thanks guys thats what I thought
The road it happened on is a nightmare all the school kids park along it.
Not only has my bike been wacked there my truck has been bumped a couple of times luckily the tow bar does more damage to there cars than mine.The other day the chippy had the wing stoved in on his two day old van.
obviously they didn't hang around to exchange details. 

It just makes me so  >:( >:(

I posted mark my nos panel for matching  + i have sent him some more parts  to spray with the same batch, bit of luck it will be done sooner rather than later, however i still have a crap load of other things to do to the bike, as well as that i have just got myself another project to start, busy times ahead

Is Mark going to strip and rebuild the bike? and yes my bike is just up there for a fill in job while i save up to pay for the work so no rush with that, i have to say my bobber is favourite of all my bikes at the moment, i was on my way up to a motorbike cafe sunday when i see in my mirror a whole bunch of bad ass choppers and bobbers  thundering up on the road behind me, they one by one pulled along side and gave the nod of respect and roared off, so i tucked in to the pack  and rode with them, they pulled in the cafe i was going to , it was an almighty  entrance in front of my pals
Bobbers are standard bikes with 1 or both mudguards reduced or removed, usually a sprung single seat, and lots of factory bling removed, mine is a proper rat bobber it takes you to another world when your riding i just can't explain other than to say you just feel like a real f---ing bad ass while riding , and its real cool to go slow which helps to stay safe

Yes Mark is going to strip and rebuild as It's all only cosmetic really
I could do it myself but I just don't have the time to run around.I did strip the gold bike for parts so I could use it for a while but I then had to change it all back for them to assess the bike.There are only so many times I can pull it apart and reassemble it at 1am.Yet again I am without a bike as they are all out action. 
I like the idea of a big V twin but I just can't see me riding a chopper.

Firestorm. :)
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.
