After a great day out in Lincolnshire I stopped for a burger at Swanwick services. This guy reversed into my parked bike so I'm looking for lots of parts plus someone to fix my fairing and tail panel.
So, if anyone knows a good paintshop in Derbyshire it could be helpful.

He was good enough to admit liability and swap details but would like to settle without the insurers. I have some full list insurance prices for repairs and they are megabux. So somewhere in the middle he could save some money and I would have a bit left over. Otherwise over to the insurers and my bike will be restored to mint.

That's really cheered me up! It's a 2005 GSXR750XK5 Anniversary Edition.
Anyway, just about to email the prices to him.

Years ago I dropped my FZR on a roundabout. Sent the right fairing panel away to dream machine and it came back better than the original. Later I sent off all parts of a GS750 and had it custom painted by them, same result, brilliant. They're still in business so they must be doing something right.

Pop & see Steve at Autotek at the top of Cromford hill, he will do you a decent job for a decent price ( I used to work for him)

Good tip, Nick. I'm only 3 miles from there. Problem is my bike is 150 miles away in Surrey with the insurers claim management company. 7 weeks bikeless and counting.
