Well it all started out OK

I counted 80 bikes on the ferry - made a lovely noise when they all started up when we docked in Le Havre

Then I fell off

Then I woke up the next day

The white things on my chest are where they were injecting garlic - trying to convert a Toad to a Frog

Silly grin caused by the wonderful Morphine (recommended - better than any single malt

)

The Leg - whilst not such a shocker as Rictus's pic, at least it has a decent sized bandage - spot the sneeky French trying to syphon out good English blood

What remains of the bike - doesn't look too bad at first glance

but get a bit closer

no oil filter, cracked crankcase, displaced oil and coolant radiators
and someone has taken a steam iron to my downpipe

very bent bars, but levers look OK
R&G torn off - funny that

, hope the newer models are a bit stronger
pegs snapped off

Just waiting for the insurance company to sort themselves out

Leg seems to be going OK - physio's think it is straightening itself, so with a bit of luck I won't have to have it reset

cheers

Simon... erm

I don't want to be rude, but what's going to happen to your bike? I can't help but notice that your tank seems to be in perfect condition!

I have to say that downpipe is super-impressive

- still needs a clean though

Thats the new exhaust pipe system from Micron called Serpent.

Bahh, not all that bad. I had the idea that the bike was in two halfs.

I couple of hundred and it will be like new.

PS (edited). Did not read the bit about a cracked crankcase. Oh Dear.

Yeah, I was scatching my head when I looked at that... I reckon the front downpipe took the full force of the sign post (which was square section, not a tube!). I picked the oil filter up from the road and put it with the bike.. Why ?

The worst bit was when they dragged it up the back of the revovery truck while it was laying on it's side

Still, hopefully there'll be less of this

, and more of this

soon

thanks everyone

I have received a number of pm's, etc. regarding 'spares' so once I get it back from the insurance co (assuming it is written off) we'll let the bidding commence
- or perhaps just let the vultures round with their spanners &

hammers

demolition derby - last one standing gets the parts

cheers
