    Spanked the Bike this morning.

    Blind car driver pulled across me on the A13

    I'm still walking so my injuries weren't too bad (right leg is pretty sore)

    Bike isn't pretty, but it could have been worse, as I managed to keep it on two wheels.
    Cheers Rob.

        Top fairing is knackered, r/h side panel scuffed across the decals and the r/h foot rest and brake lever is bent and half snapped through.

        Top fairing is £250+ vat, I've not got the prices on the rest yet.

        I'm Ok, but ****ed off about damaging my previously unmarked well loved and fully dealer serviced Bike, it only passed it's MOT on Monday, and I taxed it for a year. Now I can't use it until the insurance sorts it out.

        Thanks for your kind thoughts.

        The bottom hose could always pay for the top fairing Ian
        Cheers Rob.

              two more than the 'Scort, eh? Sorry Rob - couldn't resist it! Glad you're walking wounded and not worse.

              Still got the scars from the "blind" driver who hit me 20 years ago

                      Glad your not to badly injured, I have had a couple of accidents myself on bikes, and its not nice. I can sympathise how you feel right now with the state of your bike, but the main thing is your ok. Just sold mine as I haven't used it much recently, but I know I will want another in the summer
