Fell off.

Went to see Paul in NZ to drop off the book he lent me in hospital and had one of those inexplicable 30 km/hr lowsides.

Paul's been complaining to the council about the gravel building up at the end of his road, plus there is a surface change in the braking area.

Carefully trolled up to the intersection, braking gently and the bike immediately lay down on its side as I went over the surface change and into a little bit of loose chip. I was looking at the approaching traffic, not the road surface, so Hobson's choice really.

Idiot.

Bugger! At least you're OK.... aside from the damage your wife did! Hows the bike?

Clutch lever scraped, bar end scraped, upper fairing has holes and scrapes, fairing bracket bent, gear lever bent (but bent back with a suspiciously handy pipe, thanks to Paul), little scrape on tailpiece.

Not much really, but probably expensive to fix.

Thank goodness I went down on the left. Micron bling all OK.

Millennium hand and shrimp, indeed.

Glad to hear nothing important got mangled.
