Crashed last night :(
 
Coming home from work and riding in a bus lane when a car appeared from no where between traffic and boom... off in come. Fractured my left wrist and left forearm :(

Think the bike will be a complete write off in all honesty as it then proceeded to hit a kerb and metal bollard. Off top of my head the Clutch case has a massive hole in it, Left wing mirror is missing, both foot pegs came off, Gear selector Is pretty much straight all fairings scratched and cracked....

Thankfully I had my helmet cam on so recorded it all :)

OUCH. hope you get it all sorted. Hardest part is not going to be riding for a while because of your injuries. Hope you get well soon. Watched video several times and still makes me cringe every time.

If its a write off do NOT accept any offers on buy back or pay out before you pm me your reg. I work in the insurance industry and will do my best to get you more.

Holy moly mate. I was expecting to see something that could make you to blame, but really that could've happened to anybody. Perhaps a bit fast? Perhaps you could've been more left if someone was to pick holes. But in any case, I could easily see myself in that situation, so I don't think you couldve done much to improve your safety.The car driver had enough visibility to see you and was just an absolute muppet.

On the plus side the woman who came to your rescue looked quite tidy. Did you get her number? :D

I watched the video a few times, holy **** that makes me cringe!

Hope you have a speedy recovery, all the best!
