Stew Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Was giving the bike a little detail yesterday. It's always put away gleaming so gave the paintwork a spritz of spray sealant by blackfire. All the exposed metal was given a couple of coats of the greatest protectant known to man..... bilt hamber autobalm. The plastics etc were dressed with Meguiars All Season Dressing and the wheels sealed with poorboys wheel sealant. Anyway, it was on the front paddock stand to wax the wheel however it rocked and came out! Not the bike is going ground ward but I've left the side stand down. Anyway I dived to save it and wrapped my knee off a big stone that was on a slab in the driveway. My knee is now in agony! Anyway, I finished off the bike and put it away with no pics taken. I think I'll do my car today. I'll have to take care on my knee though! Oh and the bike looks There is my detailing story of the day! Quote
Chris`I Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 hope your knee is ok buddy! Bikes can be heavy, I have nearly dropped mine of paddock stands a couple of times! Sounds like a possible lucky escape! Can autobalm be used on exhausts? With the immenant arrival of my Nismo, I'm looking for something to protect it from the 300 mils a month I do! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Better that than dropping the bike Stew Quote
martinmac Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I see it hasnt stopped the polishing session then Stew Quote
Stew Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Hell no Mart, straight back on the wagon for an all day sesh! It was lucky, I saw thousands flash before my eyes. My knee is well covered by BUPA but I wouldn't want to claim on the bike insurance! Pics will be put iup when it's nice. Quote
Stew Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Chris, not sure. I put it on the exhaust but who knows what will happen! Maybe one for Bilt Hamber on DW or send them an email. Quote
Stew Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 R Pretty much...... The GF was complaining about me going up the stairs in the evening! Quote
