Sounds like a lot of damage for a low speeder.

As everyone says the bike can be fixed, the improtant bit is that your OK

Look on the bright side, - at least there's no damage to the fridge!

(My garage shelf was similarly undamaged when I came off )

Real sorry to hear, I think I've taken all your luck.
I managed to stop in time when I did the same this morning (filtering and car allowed to cross me, thankfully he was being more observant than me )

Best not to tempt fate I guess with crash bungs.

I chucked my yoke down the road a while back. Was only doing 5 or something when it actually went down.
(Lots of sliding about, and trying to keep the thing upright, until a truck intervened and it was game over brodey)
I was totally amazed though. Motosliders were on, and by jingo they did the job. Not a bother.


So it goes. Sorry to hear about your damage though.

Not seen any dammage but a lot of the time the force needed to snap the littl locater bolt and turn the bar round on the fork leg is a lot less than to actually bend the clip on, so check that it can't be re-positioned and actually have it off the bike and look at it closely before shelling out for a new one!

Of course if it looks like a bananna ignore the above
