I would do but had an off today... Some old bloke coming off an island decided to do a u turn right in front of me without looking or indicating. I hit some gravel and the front went from under me. Luckily was only probably doing about 5mph at the time, wrecked the fairing, indicator, bent the rear brake pedal and dented the exhaust.
Not a happy bunny ! |

sorry to hear that.
might be a problem with claiming as the insurance company might turn around and say no one can prove anything, unless the "nearly dead" actually admitted liability. we all know what insurance companies are like. and old people for that matter |
Keep it rubber side down |

| If worst comes to the worst is the fairing repairable? Toggs came off his ZX6R a few years back and had the fairing repaired resprayed in sandard colours by a car body shop I think. He might still have the details |

Bad luck Ses. As it was his fault I would push for a new fairing rather then offer a repair.
I'm going to try a sneek away from work early on Tuesday. So Weather permitting I'll break my Bassetts Pole duck. A friend of ours has her brother visiting from Ireland on his Triumph. I'll try and drag him along as well. |
