First major off. Bike looks like it needs tlc bad. Fairings scratched, exhaust scratched, rear and front brake levers gone. basically...i hit some oil on a tight bend and the back wheel came out, so to stop it spinning out i grabbed the front brake which made the bike stand up and i hit the curb on the other side of the road and came off. My collar bone is broken - so excuse the crappy post its taken a while

Nah not worth claiming. Glad there's nothing too serious.

Ouch. Phil and I both hit a patch of oil on a bend recently, but luckily managed to just have a large moment but keep it upright. Hope you mend soon.
