Got my Black S/M 6 months ago. Slowly but surely, funds permitting, got add-ons over the coming months , screen, slash cut straight thru pipes, sissy bar and finally panniers. Took the afternoon off work to fit the panniers. I now had the bike as I wanted it. Took the bike out on a test ride AND GOT T_BONED within 10 minutes out!! The bike is a mess. I can't believe it, just as the good weather is coming along.
The silver lining is that even though I was just going around the block I put all my gear on and got away with minor cuts, grazes and bruising. The cops tell me the driver who came out of a side road has admitted responsibility - he did not see me ( What! the head light is as bright as a WW2 search light)Just waiting for the insurance assessors to check on the damage and see if it is a right off or can be repaired. I hope I don't miss the summer.Looks like I will have to wait a bit longer to meet up with the UK members on a ride-out.
