Default Right, I think it's time to put the bike away..

Well I went road surfing this morning slowly going round a corner and lost the back wheel on a road that (I discovered when trying to get the bike up) hadn't been gritted and was like an ice rink. The bloke who stopped to help me almost went over on the ice.

The bike isn't too damaged, mainly just scuffing but the radiator cap came off and all the coolant leaked out and the back brake lever snapped off and I think my bars may be bent so I may invest in some nice replacements. I am confused how the rim round the light got scuffed but the indicators are fine

So I am going to put the thing away till the new year and just use the bus/train .

I have questions regarding the radiator, it looks fine the metal plate on the side is scuffed badly and is has been push across slightly but other than the cap it seems fine. What should I test on it before I think about using it? Also is the coolant corrosive? Because a fair bit got spilled over the tank engine and frame?
