Just had my first off, can safely say the single most weird experience in my life, was coming off a kempshott roundabout (some of you who live locally will know the one) and the front end decided to go, bike did a 360 sliding along the road across oncoming lane, i followed it mainly on my arm and leg.

sv has suffered left fairing scrapage, broken indicator, broken gear lever, mashed up bar end, scraped mirror, belly pan also suffered scrapage, and my screen got snapped.

i was wearing leather jacket and draggin jeans (what a good job they did) there torn up pretty bad but no damage to legs, my arm has some huge graze down it from the friction which is pretty painful...

So yeah thats it just thought i would share my story, pics to come later

Sorry to hear this, glad your okay, GWS bike. It is a weird experience, not just the first time either.

Sorry to hear that mate

I did the exact same thing. Luckily the car coming on the roundabout stopped in time. I'm surprised your arm got grazed through your leathers from a relatively low speed off.

Hope everything gets sorted soon

Maybe he meant a friction/carpet burn from loose leathers/under layers..
