Lucky to get such great pics of your crash, there's some for the grandkiddies.
Bad luck, hope it's back together and running soon.

Damn, that's a tough break. As long as you are Ok, the bike will rebuild.
Are you sure it's green that is unlucky - was so hoping to paint mine British Racing Green.

Glad to see you are feeling OK today swab's!
Mate, it may pay next time to do up the fucking bolts! I ran those brand of clip ons for years without ever having a problem. I even have the spanner to adjust em with!! It's something unusual ....like 10mm!

but just in case I am using the wrong spanner, can you send me yours

It's worth making sure you've got the right spanner for next time, maybe you used a left-handed one before?
