My head also wishes you well and a speedy recovery for yourself and the bike...
... my heart is also glad it wasn't the Blade!
I think you've come to suffer from,
what friends I have in another hobby call, the
New Kit Curse.
You can bimble along fine, all happy and fluffy with your old bike and old kit, no mods other than what came with the bike, stuff like that. You invest in a new set of leathers, or a paint job for the bike, or something, then...
... BANG!
Once your New Kit becomes Old Kit you are free and clear, until next time.
I seem to remember you having put a new can on this little beauty recently... It's the Curse I tells 'ee.
