you're gonna feel worse over the next couple of days (kinda like you've gone a few rounds with mike tyson ) but you'll recover.

knocks your confidence too, but that'll come back...

chin up dude.

Sorry to hear about your tumble. I had one recently and although damage was minimal my confidence took a knock and I found it a bit intimidating to get back on for the first time. Soon had it come back though.

The damage does not look too bad in the pic, any chance that you can do a bit of plastic welding and respraying at home to make it nice? Your new can can be repaired too I imagine. Good luck and get back on soon.

Unlucky Tommo! I'm sure you'll get it back in shape soon.
Last year my K5 spun 180 degrees. I was going pretty slow on a wet greasy road surface. Didn't know why at the time, but I later found one of my rear brake pads had delaminated from the metal backing plate and the friction material was floating loose. I saw someone else post the same fault on this forum. Probably original pads and mine were the same batch number as the other guys. Maybe worth a look before you go back out.

Oh... and rather than going naked, maybe you can keep your bikini on.
