Default Damn Hopping Vermin

I thought i'd post a few pics of my poor XR6 after an very disappointing encounter with a bloody roo.

This happened back on the 17th of December, I hadn't got around to posting it because
a. I had no internet access for ages and
b. I just got off anti-depressants(lots of beer) for this little incident.

This happened about 200kms south from tennant creek in the NT, I hadn't seen a roo all night and was just slowing down to stop at a roadhouse overnight, was doing about 80kahs when this bastard jumped out and hit me.

I'm now in Kununurra, the local panel beaters had told me it would be about $3500 for parts alone and another $3000 for labour. Ha, i don't think so.

They then said the labour might only be $1000 after i said the insurance would proberly write it off if it was that much.
Whoops, not gunna use them now.

Anyways heres some pics.
