Another Yellow Curvy Goes Down... - SV650.org

... along with me

. Don't really know what happened, finished work at 8 and decided to go for a ride since I saw some of this sunshine that I've heard stories of. Anyway, got halfway round a round-about and just lost the front. Only thing I can think of was diesel.

Damage:
Rear brake lever gone
Scuffs to fairing
Scuffs and scrapes to can
End of front brake lever snapped off
Front indicator smashed
Numberplate separated from bike
Small hole in my leathers on the knee

Pics to follow shortly, I'm now off to ebay.

sorry to hear this sv225

theres nothing anyone can say to make you feel better, take a picture of the diesel and get it off to your council.

ah nuts, glad your ok, get the bike up and going again

Thanks, Im fine - the bike took all the damage. Luckily I was wearing proper gear but I could feel the tarmac through my leathers. I will never wear denim jeans again though, even when going into town. I was only 10 miles away from home when it happened. Will be 100% rideable when I get brake lever and indi lense sorted (bulb still flashes though), mostly cosmetic really.
