Aw man, hope the arm heals up ok. Is it a bed break? obviously all breaks are bad but you know what I mean.
 
Hope the restoration project goes ok too, you going back to the way it was or upgrade??

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

Thanks for the support.


Arm needs an op, plating and screws.


Not had a good look at the bike but the aftermarket lower fairing has taken the brunt of the off. Fox eye fairing probably knackered and the generator cover. Fairing lower probably fixable. Yoshimura can is unscathed  :lol


Any one with any of the parts needed give me a shout.


Will carry on the bikes evolution.....satin gunmetal grey front and lower fairing and satin black tank and rear fairing me thinks.

Get well soon.


second ride after I got my fazer I came off (lost the rear end on a tram rail at slow speed in nottingham) and scraped the engine casing.  The day after the engine guard turned up ;-)


I hope it all comes together for you.  Get back on the horse (power)

"SNAP" ( pun intended :) ) know what your going through. had an off on the 14th Dec. managed to snap the ball of the top of the humerus! plated & screwed! :o



lots of pain & sleepless nights! :thumbdown had the stitches out 3 weeks ago, still in pain & movement is limited at the mo but hoping it'll improve over time & with the physio im doing. hoping to get back on the bike within the next 6 months.

spending the time locating bits & repairing the bike. (well, watching a mate putting the bits on) :D

hope its not as painful as mine & you recover & heal fast :)

Freaky...I came off a Bandit 600 around the same time and did nasty damage to my leg too. Still not right here either, but I am back in work and riding again.

Bloody hell. Wish you better soon!

Reminds me of a test ride I had on my diesel bike. The fuel pipe rubbed on the back wheel spraying diesel all over the back wheel. Luckily I smelt it and stopped before a corner!
