came off (fuck it) and now need to replace a few things.. Headlight, dash, possibly new bars and a seat and fucked my new Helmet I bought...
thatll teach me i geuss... will try make the Coro loop on Mon if I can get my bike in a resonable state by then...

Bummer mate ... doesn't sound like you got hurt though, so useful lesson learned?

yeah not hurt... yip definately a leson learned... dont over do yourself, read the road and always slow well before the corner.. will be good to get back on the bike and do that road again and ajust my way... i've stiill got alot to learn about riding and I have to be sure not to be over confident!!! Thanks alot to the guy on the Duc Monster that stopped too... he made getting back on alot easier... cheers

good luck with the repairs
