Morning all.
After 6 odd weeks and almost 4k I managed to come off the bugger going about 20mph on a small empty road when following my Dad!
Turned into road, go down road, use front brake, feels like not working very well, like when water on discs, but it was blue sky day and i'd just done 130 miles to get there. Pressed brakes again/harder I think and it locked and down I go.
Nobody else involved thankfully, just a stressed Dad who saw it all in his mirror. Called AA, guy came out, he reckoned the front discs looked too dull, they did look different to the rear disc which was shiny. He seemed to think there'd been oil on the discs? I'm not sure, I blame myself but am not sure why it didn't stop first.
Anyway, i'm fully comp so bike's getting taken to my dealer this morning to see what they think of the discs, and get a quote. Then i'll call the insurance. Does anybody know how they work as regards leather cover? I have that so presume all my stuff will be replaced? How do they go about that?
I recall being bloody annoyed as i slid however far and tried to not hit my head, but it just knocked the road, bugger! Rest of kit just scraped, couple holes in the stretch panels on the leathers, boot buggered.
As regards the bike, guy thinks forks bent, brake lever bent, rear lever gone, crash bung wore down, lower fairing just got a few marks anyway, upper by lights is scraped properly, exhaust obviously... quite a bit of stuff!
Anyway, advice experience of claiming all welcome. I'm hoping BikeSure are ok with me using Suzuki as apposed to their own choice. Soon find out anyway.
