Ah no. Hope you're ok. Any damage to you or bike?

Broken footbrake pedal, smashed o/s front indicator lens, big split in o/s fairing lowers, scuffs to fairings and quite possibly a fractured metatarsal in the thumb. Damn, damn, damn....

A moment of inattention on our backlanes, a smear of loose gravel just after an uphill bend where the council surface dressed the road some while back, front end washed out and ended up in the wet, rutted mud on the side. Down I went at around 25 - 30mph.

No ride to the Lakes next w/e then as I shall be spending the time and the money fixing the bike. Not that I could comfortably ride it with my thumb as it is just now.

:( Sorry to hear that, gravel is a pain in the...thumb as it happens for you :rolleyes: Hope it's not a bad fracture and your bike's back in working order asap.
