Ste.
Ste,

I'llk take you up on the gear lever please mate if that's ok? Looks like the whole LH footpeg assembly might need replacing TBH, but the gear lever has snapped so that definitely needs replacing! I still have the standard indicators somewhere at my parents house so should be ok with those.

I'll put up a post in the wanted section or something for any other bits that I end up needing...


Oh and BTW, the free drugs are GREAT!

As what happened to me after my biggy. It was the (very) large channel in the road which caused my accident (as well as the speed). By the time I left the hospital the highways agency had resurfaced the whole bend. That defect in the road had caused many accidents throwing cars into the barrier. The area directly behind the barrier was like a scrap yard of car parts.

Get photo's dead quick and then sue their butts.

The bill for the drugs might just come later. That's what happened to me. Got a bill through the post.

No bill for drugs yet...

Just got back from my appointment with the consultant this afternoon at the fracture clinic, and he reckons it'll be more like 12 weeks until my collarbone heals - that's assuming the bone stays where it is. It was apparently very close to coming through the skin (would that make it a compound fracture?) but should heal as long as it doesnt move position too much. They'll x-ray me again in a fortnight and if it's moved they might have to operate.

Not a happy bunny so far. Now to ring the insurance co. to see about my helmet & leathers...

Well, knowing you you'll be swinging from a chandalier with some owld bird that you shouldn't be and put your bone out of shape and won't be able to do the AR.

When that happens I have a seat on the back of my bike for you good buddy

Andy, what you need are some nice shiny Pazzo levers to finish the tidy-up job!

Oh yes pub is still a definite, just need to sort out a night when we're all free & have some cash. I reckon I'm still capable of a game of darts too but Chris is having none of it lol!

Pete, those levers are nice, always did like the setup on your SV!
