So this is my own stupid fault no one else involved.

I was going round a roundabout probably a bit to fast and the front wheel stepped out.
I managed to get the bike upright but then went up the kirb onto a grass verge in panic I slammed brakes on and the front wheel washed out (what was I expecting) and down I went.
My shoulder is bruised and I have a stiff neck. The bike is ok I have a bent foot brake and cracked and chipped the headlight surround.

So I was lucky and a lesson learned:(

Bugger, glad you're ok though dude, you must've been going some to lose the front on a dry roundabout though?

Least you didnt hit another vehicle :)
