  2. Pray to the God of Lockstops WTL.
     
  3. Can I ask how the accident happened?

  5. I guess.
    I'm going to have take another look at the tank. I feel like it wasn't damaged, so didn't register; but I can't believe it's not!
     
  6. Gravel! Arse. Thats really bad luck but we've all been there at some point. Good luck, the forks look terrible from the top view.
     
  7. OH GOD, this hurts see a Duc scratched like this, but good to know you are well
