Dan is down....
 
:(

Had an off today. On my way into work and filtering past stationary traffic when a driver decides to pull out of the queue without looking for whatever reason (there were no junctions for him to go so it was either impatience or a U turn). I did a pretty good Superman impression and landed on my head. Luckily the Arai lid did it's job and apart from a headache and a sore chest I'm okay. Not sure about the Bike. Broken front brake lever, twisted radiator, twisted forks and slightly bent handlebars. Was rideable once I'd fixed the brake lever but the forks are certainly twisted. Also when I got home I noticed the right disc was very hot while the left was not. Any suggestions, offers of mechanical help welcome! :)

Not sure I can help with the mechanics of it all, but sorry to hear you had an off.

Hope you got all the insurance details of the other party, and you get it sorted ASAP.

Billy.

$hit Dan! Hope you're not too sore :(

Have a search on here for LynW's letter re: her filtering accident. Just in case there are any insurance "issues"

If you need a hand with tools or anything then drop me a PM and we'll see what can be sorted out.

Oh Dan bad luck! Glad you are not too bad, and hope you get a nice fat payout from the numptyc ar driver. They did stop didn't they?

Thanks for the letter link, that could be very handy should I get issues. The driver was friendly enough and said 'sorry' so I'm hoping he admist lability so it can go smoothly. We'll see what happens I guess.

Real sorry to hear. :(
So the right disc is binding - don't ride too far (but it sounds like you know that)

You will go and get it resprayed! :roll: tempting fate.
