Just a sore back and neck and bruised ego but other than that I'm OK. Lost it on a roundabout when the back swapped ends with the front. Road was really greasy so it caught me out.
We slid for about 20 yards then both hit the kerb pretty hard. I ended up on the grass verge about 2 feet from a lamp post so could have been worse.
Poor obs? yes probably, touch too fast? yes probably. Am I annoyed? Too bloody right.
Anyway I am Ok that is the main thing.
Bike was recovered pretty quickly and has gone off the the Carole Nash accident repair shop but I am guessing it's a write off as far bit of damage.
Front fairing (buggered) screen (smashed) clocks (snapped of mount) fairing brackets (bent) mirror (spread over road) front forks (bent) exhaust (buggered) front and rear brake levers (snapped).
Think it's time I started to look for a new toy to play with.
Thanks for the offer of help and best wishes from everybody. Stay safe guys, it's the little mistakes that catch you out!!!
Cheers
