Bugger

Glad you're OK though.

Thank you everyone!!

I've got some spare indies courtesy of kingfixer over on 675.cc, I found a graphite tail unit on ebay, auction has 3 days to go yet so I'm watching it. If anyone else dares bid on it, you're toast!! I wanted new levers anyway so I's getting some nice Pazzo shorties. Think it's time to get some anodised bar ends, I can get a rear brake lever from Wylies, the crash bung from T3, and the mirror housing, the stator cover and the panel will have to wait.

My leathers - well they're a bit of a mess, they'll have to do till I can afford some new ones. But they did their job, yes I'm annoyed about the holes, but I'd be a darn sight more annoyed if I had holes in my arms.

I like my new tyres, they are really good, but I didn't like them when I came off. I really didn't brake THAT hard, just a bot more firmly than usual, and over I went. I didn't lock up the front (got that T shirt, learned the lesson), it simply slipped away cos the tyre didn't grip.

Damn.

Oh well, not the first time, sure as hell won't be the last. Onwards and upwards

Get some trendy patches, nobody will notice, better than gaffer tape
