And my elbow!

And my shoulder.

... And my chest.

... And my other shoulder.




... And my head.


... And my butt.

Bugger.

Nosecone isn't too happy. Other than that, not really, no. Bike flooded out, but runs and rides well enough still.

Front end washed out, because my front tyre is old, very low on tread, and was sat over the winter inflated, so has gone a bit hard. I did the only thing I could think of, and snapped the throttle closed - managed to save it intially, as the bike popped back upright, but of course, still mid corner.

Across some gravel, then across some grass, and then slid out again on the bumpy grass, just before I hit the tree and fence I was heading for.

And I didn't get the 'whee' moment, it was just 'oop, this is going a bit wrong, shite, bugger, bugger, bugger.' *THUD*.

Bad luck mate, I've had a few "everything downs" in the past, mostly due to overexuberance on my part! Hope you get fettled soon!
