yep....i stuck the 12 into a ditch

long story short i farked up glanced off a car, ... off the side of the road and into a ditch..wasnt even going that fast

at least it was a nice grassy knoll. over 20 years riding on the road and my first prang on a road bike.

thankfully apart from some pretty swollen bits (no not that) and some lovely hues of black i am ok. thank god for full leathers. the 12 has a few bits missing/broken but seems mainly cosmetic.

special thanks to ron/chris/jess and duane for coming to rescue me. specially to jess for waiting at the hospital with me and being late for her own party.

thanks to everyone else for there offers of help and calls/texts.

Farcanal Greg!!! Wots going on???? It appears that they are dropping like flies at the moment!!!!

I am ever so happy to hear that you are OK. But WTF have you done to the 12!!!!!! It doesn't look happy Greg!! I can feel a write off coming on!!! Would a 12 make a good track bike ya reckon

You have probably had more offers than a Grey st girl, but if ya need anything I am only around the corner remember!!!!

It's always cosmetic until you have a decent look at it....

No, wait. I mean. She'll be right mate. It'll polish out!!

Good thing you're ok. Who would we hang shit on if you weren't around?

And I assume this stack was Greg's fault?

Bummer Greg.. Glad your OK.

Just fix up the broken bits and leave the fairing scratches.. I hear those 12's scrape fairings in corners anyway...
