I bet if you are not hurting physically you are hurting thinking about ya bike. When I had my off I didnt get to see my bike for a week and that was the thing that got to me. Looked bad but didnt cost me that much to fix back together.

When you have a list of what you need put it up and the org will come to your aid. I haven't much in the way of spares but if I have something that will help you can have.

Take care xxx

Sounded nasty. Count yourself lucky i think. Get that bike fixed up for nest year at least... Plenty of time. :cool:

What happened exactly? Would be nice to hear your take on the incident.

Sorry to hear of your off mate, but consider this. You have a lot of damage to your bike and very little to you. That's preferable to the other way round!

Thanks all, I was indeed very very lucky today. Heres a brief version of events from my point of view:

I was approaching a corner with a rider in front of me, we both slowed down and I misjudged the speed of the rider in front. I realised in the corner that I was still approaching him faster than I would have liked, I applied the rear brake. I clearly applied it too firmly and the rear wheel locked kicking the back out, I released the brake and tried to recover but the bike was swinging from side to side and I could not control it. I was kicked off down the road while the bike continued into the verge.

Thats why they teach you to use both of them in lessons... ;)

In all seriousness though, glad your ok, could have been much worse.

Binky did txt me to see if I was coming along but sadly had to rag the pants off the KTM instead;)
