left Dizzy in Wakefield and hit some Diesel or something, went down about 20-25mph, gear lever & footrest snapped off, lh front indicator hanging off, huge crack in lh fairing scuffs in fairing & seat surround. drove 48 miles home in 4th gear only! Broke my elbow, very painful, typing with right hand, VERY ****ed off, and it was a great night till then.

Ooops. Sorry to hear this Steve.

Have you had the elbow looked at?

Hope you get yourself sorted soon. And the bike too ofcourse.

Sorry to hear that Steve.

GWS.

Sounds like minor damage to the bike hopefully.

Your kidding? Well I guess your not. Where abouts did you come a cropper?

I take it you've been to the hospital then? A broken elbow sounds a bit nasty.


I might be able to help with the fairing. Think I've got a LH one somewhere, it ain't showroom condition - but has nothing broken. Or didn't have last time I saw it. The other bits - I'm sure the helpful org can help out with.


Beer generally fixes things - I'd give that a try.

Did begin to wonder when you didn't post to say you got back. Did you hit the weather too?
GWS matey.

Maybe hard matching your fairings up with another...your bike was sooo pristine

Hey Steve,

Get well soon fella. Broken bones heal quite quickly if they are not poking out of your skin.

As for broken SV's, I hope that it is not too expensive.
Hugs and empathy
