    One new clutch lever needed. A nice man helped me pick it back up.
    Nothing else seems touched. I rode to work anyway.

    My sister dropped her Tiger @ 0mph and it crushed her foot against the edge
    of the kerb.

    She's still on crutches over 6-weeks later.

    The bike has a few scratches and a cracked indicator lens.

    I think I'd rather go with the "new clutch lever" option.

    Was it a stationary fall over or something more interesting ?

    Pure idiocy. It wasn't really warmed up, I tried to pull away making a
    turn to face up the street rather than 90 degrees to the curb.
    the engine wasn't *eager* and that little 'will it fire, won't it fire'
    pull left me with too much turn and not enough shove. I was just
    standing over it as it went south.

    Uncannily similar 'crash', but can you imagine LN on a Tiger? She'd
    need a stepladder to get on.

    I thought she preferred Kizzy.

    SWMBO did much the same on her GPZ500, turning right at a tight T-junction
    and not realising until too late that she was in 3rd and not 1st.

    Luckly, I was directly behind and we picked her bike up together.

    She's still not forgiven me for checking the bike for damage first...

    It must be catching, guess what happened this very lunchtime when I was
    at the garage checking the tyre pressures. Now have the tip of the
    clutch lever in my pocket.

    How much is a gold anodised adjustable clutch lever for a Ducati ST4s ?

    It isn't a Ducati lever, they don't make a span adjustable version.
    They came from eBay. You clumsy ****.

    It's good practice for the Elefant, now I know what touches down when
    the bike keels over.
    Thanks, when I phoned ERS racing he asked me to bring it in because it
    didn't sound like a stock one and he'd better check it. Stock one was
    £65 so a pair for £30 delivered sounds good value and the snap off bit
    definitely works, ordered.

    OOPs, as long as you've not broke yourself it's only money.

    Gold anodised? Are you the biking equivalent of a Ned?

    You can forget that one because I snapped mine (1) a few weeks ago.

    (1) Along with a footrest, clip on etc etc.
