The "No Half Measures" decal on what remains of the nose cone seems quite fitting...

Glad you are up and about mate, and good luck with trying to get it back, looks like it's in good enough shape for a track project.

They also had my leathers will take some photos and post them up.

The front wheel is buckled its hit so hard its snapped a spoke and made it like a triangle. The engine casing on the right hand side is smashed but its the top one so there's a chance the engine is not lunched. The bike looks straight and even the forks look OK. Will ring the insurance company up tomorrow and see what they say,

I don't mind admitting I was genuinely bricking it when I rode back up to the accident scene. So glad when I heard you speak and say you were OK, the relieve was huge

Jesus Christ rocket. Hope you get a good outcome on the insurance. but the main thing is you are OK

Bike is a bit of a mess glad your on the mend mate, I did not realise you were out with blade at the time..... GWS to you and the bike.
That bike used to look lovely

I'm just so glad you were there. Not nice for you but having a friend at the scene made me fell a lot easier.

Having gayness removed in about 3 weeks they found it on the ct scan i have a large patch around my ass hole

Not back in apart from a bit of a friction burn on my knee that needs dressing via the district nurse (who i can not see to get hold of ) I'm fully discharged.

Glad to hear your up and walking,you hit that front end hard there is no way i would trust the frame on that bike again
Get shut of it imho

Just got back from a week in the lakes and just seen this. Glad you're on the mend dude!

How's the recovery going?

Get well soon mate.

Getting more movement back every day. Been to see the nurse a couple of times for the graze on my knee. God dam she's ruff cleaning and iodine stings like a @&:(!,!; ;!;&,@;.

Been to the crash site and I was a lucky boy. The bike hit the curb smashed the crank case. Then went up the banking for a few meters before taking flight and landing in the road.
I skidded along the road and hit my back on the curb and my head in the banking. Then came to rest 2 meters down the road.

Asseser has been to look at the bike was a nice guy but gave nothing away.
I've looked at insurance and it looks like it will be a real problem insuring a 1000 next year.

So I think I'm looking at a 600 or maybe the gsxr750 as my next bike. I'll start a new thread about that.

Nice to hear your able to move around a bit more freely now fella. Take it easy, hope your being treated by the missus
