Hi Simon
Further to our earlier
conversation I attach pics of my Blackbird following the
bike being re-patriated from Spain in August. I had 2
accident during the same trip (they call me lucky!).
Accident 1 was on the outward
leg in France on day 2. Pic shows
the damage following a slide on diesel @ approx 40 mph on a
hairpin. The bike went down and slid across the road only
stopping when it hit the opposite pavement (a slide of about
10/15) meters. As you can see the crash protector did it's
job and despite the scratches, saved the panel and more
importantly the engine casing. I was able to continue my
journey down to Spain.
