All because of a puncture

Out on my Z1000A2 couple Sundays ago suffered a puncture at 70mph but safely brought it to a halt.
While waiting on the side of the motorway to be relayed home started to notice how scruffy and tatty it was looking after 11 years on the road after the last time i done it up so my mind was made up before i got home to tear it down and do it again but this time better and a few tweaks.
So this is where i am now my z in a million bits .
