had a bit of a sky / ground / wall moment while out on the CBR this morning, a later inspection of the road surface revealed a patch of oil i rode through just as i hit the brakes for a corner. mind you, i managed a skid mark about 80ft long!
damage on the CBR is restricted to clocks, headlight upper fairing, a bent exhaust bracket, broken RH mirror, and a few scrapes on the fairing lower.
damage to me is less obvious but there, i'm on crutches, my right hip hurts like hell, but other than that, i'm fine. the RST suit peformed amazingly well, and is almost completely unmarked, with just a couple of marks about an inch long on the left elbow.
bike is coming home on saturday in a transit, and i'm gonna be off work for a week or two.
oh, i'm on prescription strength co-codine and something else thats kinda like stronger ibuprofen, the codine is making me a little high, so its all good!
could be worse - priced up everything and it seems i can have the bike back in pre accidnet condition for about £120
oh well, we all make mistakes..
