Default So the damage is:- now with piccies

Errr, it had to happen

RHS down. Crack to upper RHS fairing, RH mirror, bar end snapped of and front brake lever scuffed/deformed. Snapped off front/rear indicators, dent/scuff to tank and back plastic. snapped peg hanger and rhs peg. yet brake lever ok.

TBH it looks worse than it is. Will post piccys later.


How:-


Well overtaking a couple of cars on an NSL road (I was not speeding) I see an oncomming car and pull back into the centre. It is full of ****e and I loose the back wheel just as the oncomming car passes. I somehow dented the rear 1/4 of the oncomming car. I dont remember doing it and could claim it was already there.


Bloody witnesses called meat wagon and old bill who breathalysed me (0.00 reading) and I have just had to produce my docs.

Oncomming car was a w reg astra belonging to a local chemists shop. I would guess that using a local body shop that the dent would cost less than £100 to fix, but I bet they want to milk it.


Clip on, bar end, twist crip and scape to tank



Crack to upper fairing


scrape to rear plastic


Broken peg hanger and peg


Scape to lower fairing






What can I say. My fault. Doh.
