    Some of you will be aware of my bike theft incident back in February, when my Speed Triple was taken. Just when things seem to back settled, had a spill on the way home from work. Busy interchange between the A406 and A13, last minute indicator and lane change while I'm filtering and I'm on the black stuff. No major traumas, sore hip and shoulder, and to be fair the TT faired quite well, slow speed tip off thankfully.

    The arrival of the can hanger this morning hasn't really made up for the frustration of yesterday :broken_heart:

    Arhh, sorry this happened Dave
    Doesn't look to cheap to sort out though! The engine cover looks quite scraped too :(

    Did you get it on camera, I hope so it is so much easier to resolve if you do
    Either way, I hope it is sorted in your favour soon.

    Thanks for the support Trumpiteers:cool:
    Not suffered too badly to be fair. Upper thigh and shoulder are okay. Crankcase is oil tight, that's a blessing and the plastic looks tatty but is fairly sound for the time being. Guy I bought the bike from gave me two new pattern indicators so the TT is road worthy at least.

    Oh gosh, sorry to hear of your off, Ive had some very close calls when filtering but never anything like yours. Glad to hear you walked away from it, the bike can be sorted.
