Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[Del]

oooopppppps 

[Hooli]

oooopppppps 

Exactly* what I said @Notty

Bummer mate, but bikes are much easier to fix than ageing body parts

[DP1400]

Hooli - only just read this, what a bl88dy shame. You`re not banged-up like your bike is all that matters. Thats worth a whole lot more than a new headlamp etc. 

[Grumpy old man]

Now this is clearly a case of bike jealousy

It had seen you riding another and decided to try and kill you so no one could have you

Very glad you are O.K machines can be fixed not always the case with people

At least you still have another bike in the shed to keep you mobile

Who knows it may give you a big motivation to get started on the reno of the old girl as it is now broken and not actually ridable

[grog]

Hooli, glad youre ok. Was bad luck but good luck. At least you have your new ride. Well planned😂

[Kiwifruit]

Thats not supposed to happen Hooli, hope you weren't distracted by fluff on the footpath.
I have some sympathy for what Grumpy said bikes and women can be quite jealous.
On a serious note, I'm pleased you didn't get banged up too bad. Shit does happen sometimes. Serves as a lesson to us all never be complacent and maybe just that bit more vigilant.
Pleased it wasn't your new Trumpet. Hopefully you will be back to 100% soon and the 14 not that far behind. Take care fella.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Glad youre ok hooli

[Mick_J]

That's a shite piece of bad luck hooli, glad you're not too badly duffed up and I hope the 14 gets back on the road soon.

[Hooli]

It'll probably be next year I get the 14 back on the road, I'd planned to take it off the road for a refresh now I've got another bike anyway. This just means I need a few more parts. Could have been a lot worse though, dropping it before impact saved a lot of damage to both my 14 & the car. Oh & me...

My left knee is well swollen, I can hardly see the kneecap on one side. It works though so I know it's just bruising coming out. My right hip is a bit sore from hitting the road. The armour in my jacket worked though as I landed on my shoulder & back, but neither of them hurt at all. Oh & I have sprained my left wrist, I thought I had yesterday but wasn't sure. I'll be ok in a week or so I think.

Speedy recovery buddy
And the parts will come up while your waiting to get into it over the winter .

[Hooli]

I've had a closer look today, the inner plastics on the clocks are damaged. I didn't bother to put the spare key in & see if they worked, but I didn't notice anything that'd suggest not, I'll try them when I take the headlight apart & make sure the wiring isn't damaged first.

It's not happening for months but it looks an easy enough fix when I get there.

[Blubber]

You must have been thinking of all the new (to you) and shiny bike bits when this happened

I can neither confirm or deny if a very tidy blonde in a tight grey dress was walking in the vicinity of the accident or not
