Hi Robert,
I’ve snapped a few pics for you. Although I crunched a bobbin and grazed the bar end reel, the only real damage to the bike was the rearset which bent and broke and the carbon at the tip of the muffler, which I have repaired with fibre-glass prior to working out whether I will replace it or not. The fairing, mirror, frame and bodywork are all completely untouched.
As for the accident, while travelling in heavy traffic, I pulled to the centre line to avoid a truck that has stopped suddenly, and an SUV behind me accelerated – I think probably to stop me getting through. The driver had had a knee reconstruction and was using crutches, so that may also have stopped him being as accurate as he may have liked to be.. In any event, he hit the bike (or me actually) on the RHS and at some point thereafter the bike and I bounced off the car and the bike dropped onto its RHS and threw me off. Imagine my surprise (and joy) when absolutely no serious damage had been done! All I can say is that for those who said I was crazy putting 28mm holes in my faring to mount the protectors, I certainly got the last laugh – the best investment I could have made! Thanks a mill!
Cheers! J
Simon
