I fell off this morning
 
I dropped my bike this morning, at low speed, going round a roundabout. Snapped brake levers, damaged fairing, broken indicator. Highly annoying. Wet-ish roundabout, near a petrol station. It wasn't until it happened, that I remember someone telling me, that roundabouts near stations can be dodgy, but I must have forgot, so though I'd remind you all. Roundabouts-wet road-petrol stations, can be dodgy.
Keep safe.
Mick


2000 SV650S. Scratched.

Also bear in mind that for some of us it's been dry for a while. First rain after a dry period always brings on a spate of crashes as all the oily deposits dropped on the road haven't been washed away yet.

Sorry to hear that,
Did it myself on sunday,As long as your okay then the bike can be fixed.
Just remember there are two sorts of bikers,
One's that have crashed and ones that are going to crash!
Good luck with fixing the bike
