| | Nasty. I take it he is ok? If you struggle to find bits, let me know You could see if you could find some carbon fibre tank side protectors like you get on R6s to fit the SV - the tank is probably fine if all the damage is in that pic. What's wrong with it that we cant see? Anything? The things are indestructable 99% of the time

| | Looks similar to the damage mine suffered. had only had it 10 days when some t*at changed lanes without signalling on the approach to the Blackwall tunnel. Thankfully i wasn't hurt just bruised and badly shaken (first spill in 8 years of daily commuting). Insurance takes ages to go through though. |
