Re: Man down
Glad you're OK Ed. Shakes you up doesn't it!
Locked my front a couple of weeks ago (in the dry!!) fortunately I had the space to release just as it started to drop. Nearly lost our James off the back though. |

Re: Man down
Glad you're OK, even if the bike's a little scratched. Shame about the leathers, but that's why we wear them.

Re: Man down
Hey Ed, sorry to hear that your bike got damaged, but am glad to hear that you did not get hurt. Hope that the rebuilding gets you some shiny new bits that make your bike extra special. Take care out there folks.
Good luck Ed, have a hug. XXX

Re: Man down
Bugger, glad you came out of it relatively unscathed.
FWIW I think the bungs did a decent enough job considering the speed it went down at - the fairing only got scrapes and not breaks - and the leathers saved you from serious damage. I treat stuff like that as semi-disposable, but obviously it'd be nice if they lasted longer. You can always have them repaired by a specialist. |

Re: Man down
Absolutely gutted Ed!
And we were just chating a few hours earlier. Come home and  Only cosmetics on the bike so's good there. By the looks of them leathers could have been much worse for the rider. Really glad to hear you are OK!
