bungs wouldn't have stopped this one

it was gate post and gate that did damage to front of bike.

more annoying is that we did 450 miles over the weekend without incident

Sorry to here about the crash dood ...

Quite like when I dropped mine, did like 500 miles over 3 days charging around the welsh country side in the rain without incident. Get back to Exeter and pull into a store, lock up the bike come back get on it pull away ... clunk, left the bloody disc lock on.

Luckily though there was no damage as managed to lower the bike quite nicely and the crash bungs stopped everything else. Pain in the ass though when it happens.
