Good to hear you're not hurt.

Also, glad you had those crash bungs fitted. I don't have them, and a similar spill did the same damage you mention, plus scratching my lower fairing to b*ggery, and pushing it into the radiator.

Do you reckon it's too late now for me to ask Santa for some R&G's?

Leigh, you don't have to do what the old mad does, just do what he says

Glad that it was not more serious.

Sorry to hear of your off. Glad you and the bike are relatively unscathed.

When I brake hard I usually lose the rear end. Guess you use the
front brake to a greater extent.

Good you had the R&G's. I am surprised so many people ride without them.

He's out now as I'm writing, preaching the gospel according to R&G

I'm just glad that we can still say Happy Christmas
