First accident this morining

Well looks like that time has finally come!

I was riding to work as usual, filtering past stationary cars on a dual carriage way then suddenly I am on my side with my leg under the bike and we go for a little slide. (After investigating I had appeared to hit a patch of gooey mud)

Luckily no damage done to me ...the cat is a little worse for wear but mostly cosmetic.
To make up for a little retail therapy was necessary, so I bought some carbon levers to replace the snapped clutch lever and some carbon indicators. The scratched fairing will have to wait though :(

I was more embarrassed and gutted for the bike more than anything. Just makes you realise how human you are when you think it won't happen to you!

glad to hear your alright, poor old cat

by the way which indicators you gone for? i was looking at doing mine have standards on there front and back at moment

:(

Sorry to hear the news Paul.
Main thing is that you are OK.
Fingers crossed the bike can be patched up without too much expense.

Rosco

Oh dear, sorry to hear that.

You can't believe just how quick it happens - glad you are OK

Hi Paul,

There has been a few yellow and silver panels going on eBay lately if you need any. I am still waiting for a blue 'V' infill panel to come up for myself.

Glad you weren't heart thou.

it can happen to the best rider in the world
glad ur ok

Just glad you are basically ok bud. Fairings are easily replaced!

Oh no!! At least your OK bud, bikes can mend.

Phew, weve had a spate of these this year.

Glad your okay and the bike is not too badly off.

glad it wasn't serious that's the main thing.

Thanks for all your messages guys

I shall look at those fairings on ebay

I have purchased these indicators [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

FFS! Can't we make an effort next year to keep them shiny side up???!!!

Kidding pal, glad you are OK and nothing too bad to the bike. As said the one thing that you can guarantee about riding a bike is that you will fall off at some point..

Sorry to hear about the crash, at least you are still in one piece!

Cosmetic things are easily fixed, as a few have said, ebay is the place to go for fairings.

Good luck with the search, if I see owt come up will let you know

Glad to hear you are ok. Hope you can find the panels & sort the cat quickly & easily.

Paul.

Glad you are OK Paul. Scratched fairing = lots of stickers!!

Damn, and a few other expletives were issued I'm sure!

Glad to hear you're OK and the bike is repairable. Hope you can get it all repaired soon and put it behind you.

If the condition of the UK's roads was top notch there'd be less accidents - wonder if the DoT's thought of that?!
