Thanks for the nice welcomes guys. You can really feel the love in some of the posts. 
Got some news back on my bike. $4000 worth of damage and it touch and go if they are going to write it off. I am going to call my insurance company today and voice my concerns about the damage done to the fairing mount on the frame and how it was damaged and needed to be replaced. To me it is frame damage and a good enough reason to write off the bike. I am not sure how my company will go with this as it is the other insurance company that will be paying for this and it should not effect my insurance.
I am also going to mention my Chris Vermuelen Shoei helmet is buggered as is my jacket and how the other insurance company should be paying for this as well. Last time my Troy Bayliss Suomy was buggered, so that is 2 helmets in 6 months.
In regards to my wife she has not had her heart into riding for a few months now and I think this was the straw that broke the camels back. Not to sound selfish and I am sure this is, but if she is not confident on the road on a bike, then maybe this is the best thing for her. It is a totally different world as you all know and not a place for the faint hearted.
Thanks again guys and I will let you know what happens, but I have been looking at bikepoint, etc and my heart is really set on a new bike and I want a Busa.
Cheers
