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? Jo |

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. |
