Ah **** Lenny, this is bad news. Don't give a **** about the phone though, .

Hope your partner lets you get a bike again soon and you get the muller together to join us all on many TD's in the future pal. Get well soon.

Funny thing is....There's no mosquitos on the web bit of the helmet... Hid behind my windscreen I suppose. And trust me on this one, the bike looked a whole lot worse.....

Bike was dropped off this morning. Frame and forks seem ok which is good. pretty much everything else is damaged.

From a quick look around it I can see the following need replacing.

Front wheel, seat unit, clutch cover, foot pegs an levers both sides, front brake reservoir, top fairing and screen.

Will prob just sell it for parts and get a new one to be honest.

Ouch, hope you get better soon mate

P.S. Give you £50 for the bike, I would offer more but it's the wrong colour

The kill switch has come off so I cant turn it on at the moment. It also leaked a lot of fuel onto the track so I think a pipe has split somewhere. Wasnt a very high speed crash 60mph tops and the crash bungs have saved a lot.
