Whoops, I did it again.
Riding back from Saffron Walden to Dagenham, been pissing down the whole time, just heading out of Abridge towards Hainault, round a couple of narrow bends as you go up the hill immediately before the 40 mph section. Back end just started to go, then flipped from side to side, transferred to front, had a bit of a tank slapper on the go, then just lost it and down I went and slid off into the mud beside the road.
At least some friendly folk stopped to help me pick it up, clean most of the mud off it, collect the pieces and bungie things down enough to nurse it home.
TBF this fairing has probably lasted longest out of the three I've had...
However, got smashed headlight, bust mirror, bust infil, really bent fairing bracket, one of the rad hoses is leaking, nasty scratches/dents to tank, possibly bent bars and forks don't feel quite lined up any more. Crash bar did it's job, engine looks untouched. Could be more, but it's still pissing down outside and I'm too pissed off to look at it further. Need tott up repairs and decide if it's worth repairing or just trade in.
So not looking likely I'll join you on the LOFO ride this Sunday.
Oh BTW, I'm fine, just a bump to hip (but had Rukka armour there) and slight ache in hand.
