Glad you're not too beaten up pal, the bike doesn't look to chipper but alas that can be fixed... or replaced.

Am I reading it correct that you were crawling in the RH Lane, he came down your LHS and hit traffic which was stationary in front of him? If that's the case you are SERIOUSLY lucky! He could have esily swerved into you and you'd have taken the brunt of it, or worse been sandwiched between that and the car in front of you. Honestly man you've got to be counting the stars with that one!
Ya you are spot on me and 3 others were just about to start filtering when he came thundering past and accelerated into the back of traffic.
He bounced out enough to catch me but yeah could have been worse and he could have decided to go over me instead of into the Audi so I guess Kudos to him for that if it was deliberate but given he was still accelerating I don't think he was paying that much attention

Thanks for all the good wishes folks, I'll be breaking the bike once the insurance is settled as it's fooked and beyond repair as far as I'm concerned but I'm sure someone can make some good from it.

Front forks are totalled and she won't start/turn over any more.
All the right side eveythings are totalled and the tanks got a huge dent in it.
Exhaust is bent and damaged and so's the link pipe.
She (and I) went down pretty hard

As I say I'll get a full list once insurance is done
