Cool 4th exhaust leak fixed, then dropped it

Well, at 21000kms the dealer has had 3 previous attempts at fixing the header nuts and last week Kawasaki decided to fit a new header pipe/cat system, as well as renewing the header and mid-pipe gaskets... seems to be ok now, I sure hope it's stopped...
But... as the title implies, there's more....

A nice winters Saturday downunder, a few clouds and around 18C... lets ride...

I wheel it backwards out of the garage, normally quite easy...

Ready to take off, go to wheel it backwards a bit to make the driveway and OVER she goes straight into the Hyundai on it's right side!!!

As I'm a 5'6", 75kg weakling I call out to my hefty neighbor just over the fence and he helps me pick it up... luckily I came off lightly, the master cylinder taking the paint off the car, and pushing the right pannier off it's lower mount...



So, after a few words I was OK, no panel damage, wow!

Off to a nice ride... and no exhaust fumes,

so here's some nicer shots of todays little ride...





Hopefully with the smelly leaks behind me I might actually get some trips in without getting sick!!
