#@*%!! Stoopid Wood Pidgeon!!
Was out for a dawn raid on the local twisties this morning (5am Sunday) , thought I'd get a good 2.5 hour blast .
Fantastic ride , it's just amazing how you can thread those curves together when the roads are clear . Just thinking about doing a final run before the sunday drivers and cyclists come out and BAM! hit a stupid wood pidgeon!
Heard something rattling a mile or so further on , so stopped to take a look and :-
So I'm on the market for a new screen
.
Bl00dy well liked that screen as well
, if anyone spotts one on e-bay gimme a shout , thanks guys .

These ones you have to drill but they have the special purpose drill bit and a small piece of acrylic to practice on.

This on ebay, not sure of quality though.

I'm waiting on my G-Force screen to arrive hopefully this week. When it does I'll post a pic and let everyone know how the install went.

Thanks for all the replies guys , especially Raymond for putting the time in with the links .
Hit a bird the other week that flew straight out of a bush , got me on the shoulder and covered me in bird **** , which at least just washes off
The thing that reeeally pisses me off is I really liked that screen , ideally I'd just get the same one again but maybe with steel reinforcement!!
But there was one identical on e-bay a few weeks back , that went for £15!!!! It was so cheap I almost bought it as a spare
But as Shadow says better than a broken visor and a busted nose and Steve , if he did fly off he'd have had a really bad headache Thing is I went down the same road again , but didn't spot a carcass
