Glad you're ok, we all have lapses and make mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself.

You hit a Merc estate at 20 - 30 and landed on your back in the road in front of it? That is a long distance to fly. You are one lucky lucky man

Well I'm not really sure where I flew, I ended up fairly straight on the road, but when I looked back, the merc had already turned, so I may have gone over the side as it started to turn. One's memory doesn't seem to log the actual flight, bit of a shame really!

Whoops.Easily done though.
I always think the best way to look at this is to concentrate on the fact that you had a prang which could have been much worse,and walked away.The experience will live on,and you are unlikely to ever do it again. Oh and the GSXR front will be a big improvement too. ![]()

Sorry to hear about that, good that you had the gear on and are ok.
If an insurance company were involved, that would be a write off. Mine had much less damage but was still written off as uneconomical to repair. But for you on TPFT, thats another matter, your decision. I fixed mine up and just regard the damage on the tank and can as "character". Then again I didn't bend the front forks, so thats your main decision, do you want to change them yourself, and are you happy the frame itself isn't bent?
