Yeah she got me a beaut, almost stopped at traffic light, then heard screech, I looked in mirror and saw car coming bloody fast and only got time to release brake and wham. Back end went up in the air and I got shot forward across the intersection. I stayed on the bike, lucky no crossing traffic at that time, I rolled about five house lengths and off the side of the road and had to lay it down gently. Hint- wear a cricket box, I scored a bruise and swelling to groin and ol fella, otherwise OK. Got it transported down to Mototec and first impression is that she is repairable and i'm comp insured so all should be OK. Down time will be the hardest part to bear, 1 month, possibly more. Major damage: swingarm bent, ducktail/fender broken, akrapovic muffler bent in half and now points up, possibly header pipes also stuffed and all the little bits and pieces that add up.
After the cops had left I was sitting on a bench 50m up the road, waiting for tow. This Islander low life jumps out of the pass seat of a car, runs across the road and lifts up bike and tries to pinch it. <i></i>
