riding home friday 18 year old blonde thicko pulled out on me luckily i saw it coming and managed to get from 30 to 5 mph before i hit her wing leg sheild dented on one side mudguard evaporated along with bumper bar rear crash bar took stopped any rear panel damage took out a spotlight on front rack . 300 in damage repairs her dad came out the house and said she had had an incident a few weeks ago and shes never driving on his insurance again and paid 375 cash up front for damage to my scooter just incase my quote was a bit wrong. winner. now i have a dilema should i use my gs front horn cover and mudgaurd out of the shed or should i go for the static 80s fad li mk 2 front end i like both very mutch just cant decide

that's decided then its the way i wanted to go but was unsure all i needed was you 2 out of everyone to say li conversion and it was happening hehehe. it was in my head in the past i just never got round to it ride it till it breaks rule applied. phil is picking it up tomorrow night to sort the damage jack the guys a true scooter wizard im going to just tell him li conversion please someone else paid for it lol double checked my forks they look and ride ok steering was a bit out so adjusted that only leaving mudguard and leg shield damage some of which ive smacked with the rubber mallet. going to rough rattle can the paintwork once the damage is cleaned up as im hoping to get it in for a full respray this winter and ill theme it with the beat decals i have ready to print on water slide decal

Looks like you got away lightly, pleased you aren't injured and the scooter is fixable

im falling out with the front rack and spots mirrors may have to sell it off. i like the new front end better without the chrome and stainless its a hard decision coz i love my mod gear it just doesn't look right on my scoot now. think ill bang it up for sale and leave it on the scoot till its sold
