So I finished my bike got it MOT’d serviced and new clutch and got it the way I wanted it, gave it a clean, parked it up safely in the garage then left to go to work for 2 weeks. Came home to find out my brother had it out, which isn’t an issue but he left it behind my dads van and he backed over it, bending the frame...
