Ahh bugger!

[Batkwaka]

Travelling in between lessons today and a car has pulled out in front of me, hopefully I can salvage the big girl.

Batty, thats terrible, hope your ok. How the hell did forks manage to bend that way?Usually opposite way. How you feeling is main concern.

Forks were cactus so the photo is after being moved carefully (by chance) by a fellow Numduc rally attendant whose towing business "Cameltow", took the pictures and graciously sent them to me.
It was about a 40kph impact, side on, just behind his front wheel. Travelling East on Abernathy Rd from Belmont.
Myself finally has the sympathy of Mrs Bat for probably 24 hours, an ice pack on my right groin, a prescription for some anti inflammatory tablets and a couple of days off before I sort the mess out.
An exciting day but somewhat difficult.

Bugger, that's a right crap thing to happen.

On the bright side the forks n yokes seem to bend before the frame so you might be ok.

[Mick_J]

That's a real bummer, I'm glad you are okay and I hope you get the bike back on the road.  Can you claim it all off the other chaps (Or Chapes / or other) insurance? 

[KiwiCol]

Bugger alright, hope your body is ok Batty, & also the bike can be fixed up ok.

[hard road]

glad your ok     but i didn't think you could snap a 46mm fork that easy

Hope your ok Batkwaka, let know if you need a hand fixing her up,  I'm back in Perth Sunday arvo.  Happy to help out a fellow 1402'er

Geez, shame about the Bike, but I am glad you are OK Matey. What did the idiot in the car have to say. ?

D.D.

That's some serious damage it will definitely require frame straightening when all that force is on headstock 👍
Hopefully insurance doesn't write it off 💩💩💩
Glad you're not seriously injured.
A few years ago Ingo had a prang and damaged his knee very badly.
Not sure if he's still a member, but shout out if you are mate.

im afraid if the frame is damaged/bent it will be a write off   

[dave55]

That nasty main thing your ok, will insurance pay out then let you buy it back so you can rebuild good bits on to another frame ?

[GSXKING]

Definitely buy back the motor 

[Kiwifruit]

Sorry for you Batty that's a real bugger. Never like seeing damaged bikes, main thing is you're OK.
Wishing you well.
