Get well soon Ron. I had a brain fart on the Oxely on the way home myself and did the old target fixation thing on this ludicrously piss weak right hander :( Had a brain fart, off into the scrub I go, broken r footpeg bracket, cracked rh fairing and a scratch on the frame :( Least the bike was rideable though so it was just a matter of swallowing pride, picking up bike and moving onwards, got it welded in Taree, now comes the debate on whether to claim or not to claim..

Yep - the towie that pulled up was on to it - radio'd his base to get an RTA cleanup crew there ASAP.

Sorry to hear you had a stack Ron, but very happy to hear you are ok. Take care of yourself. I've heard rum helps loosen up the stiff muscles :lol:

Bugger Ron, hope you and your ride will be OK for the upcoming trackday. Now that you've scratched it up you can have a real go at the track ;)

So sorry to read about your off Ron! :(

Hope you and your baby are on the mend soon! That kevlar can be rough huh? I got an exhaust burn through my draggins- no apparent damage on jeans- lots of damage on skin!

Sending healing wishes your way. :)
