Default Ooops, been high sided this morning

OK, now my bike doesn't look as good as it usually does.
On my way in to work this morning to do a mate a favour I was high sided as I came off a roundabout. Funnily enough I was actually thinking how well I went round the roundabout and exited it just before it happened. Obviously not that well after all.
Damage, pretty much anything on the right hand side.
Headlight
f indicator
top fairing
lower fairing
mirror
clip on
f brake lever
r&g bung (no longer there and couldnt find it anywhere)
r brake lever
right peg
right seat panel
r indicator
Carbon exhaust and hanger.
I was ok apart from a banged head and swollen knee. The witnesses said it looked good as I did a somersault before hitting the deck then rolling down the road with the bike following me. They actually said that it was like watching Moto GP...........
I don't think I was going too fast but from where the bike hit the deck to where it settled was 133 of my size 7 boots, yes I was bored waiting for recovery truck.
So, not having too many dealings with accidents what can I expect from the lovely people at Carol Nash.......

BTW, does this count for the Crashy Magee Tee

Crikey fella, hope you're all right! There's a link to someone selling loads of new bits on eBay in the for sale section.

I have Fully Comp with protected no claims and looking at what is damaged I reckon I may as well let the insurers sort it all out for me.

Pah people will pull any stunt for that cheeky yellow t Shirt.

Glad your alright though.

I have heard mixed reviews about carol nash.

My girlfriends dad was with them from when they first started and you would ring up and speak to carol....he claimed when he was knocked off his CBR and it all went relatively smoothly.

Oh Tony thats a real barstuard mate - just glad you are alright though man. She was so tidy too. Have you been to se anyone about your bump on the head - I was told by the ambulance man when I crashed that even a small bash needs checkin out really.

Carol Nash are expensive but they are good so i've been told - I guess (or hope for your sake) you get what you pay for.
