not the best way to welcome you to the org however most of us have been there at some point in our riding career. there are always spare parts on the forum which are much cheaper than other parts sellers on the web

Well seems like I can join the hall of shame myself.
Last night about 6pm going north on Green Lanes at the junction with Lordship Park. Went past stationary bus, got back on ahead and left turn lane, green light so I carried on.

And then I T-boned a Ford Focus with rather not-focused driver turning righ from southbound Green Lanes.

Outcome:
-stressed girlfriend
-a night at Whitechapel Hospital
-SV1000 is no more
-summer jacket cut open alond with my fav jumper
-few lumps and bruises but nothing major

I haven't seen the bike yet so I can't provide a pic but I've got one of myself in a neck brace, oxygen mask and all that. Would that count?

Apparently the crash was quite nasty. I had about 40 he had like 20 so cummulative about 60 but it wasn't a head-on. I hit his front left side somewhere between lights and passender door. Smashed his windscreen, went over and had a pretty good few-meters long flight ending with crash-landing. The paramedics said I was lucky not to break anything or worse but they did say my gear saved me. Funny enough no scratch on my lid at all.

If you've got nothing better to do you're more than welcome to swing by Danielas place for a cuppa later on.

I'd also recommend a change of the tyres as the standard Dunlops are garbage. Significant improvement and may have prevented the lock up at slower speed (I've been there).

Fair enough. I haven't been riding long so everyone is out to get me, even pedestrians
