    Bad luck CSL. That whole section of the m/way is pretty slippery when it gets wet. Must be all the diesel and crap dropped on the road by the HT boys.

    What sort of tyres are you running on the CBRS? Perhaps it's time to get some better rubber (tyres!).

    Anyway the main thing is you're ok, although that poor Honda must be wondering if you've got something against it.

    Glad you are OK, But I am wondering if somewhere there is a Betty doll with pins in it?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Always terrible news to read on here. Thankfully you're not injured too badly and as most people will agree the bike is secondary to your health and can be fixed/replaced in time.

    Keep your head up CSL, you'll be back on two wheels before you know it!

    Not good to hear, Cathy, but glad you are able to post about it and are not in worse shape. Take care of yourself and remember that the bike can be fixed/replaced, but YOU can't!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Glad your ok.
    Roads are pretty bad out there at the moment with all the on & off weather.
    Everyone take it easy till summer has kicked in.

    Glad you're ok Cathy.

    Sounds like you need some more bits off the old Rodent. PM me a complete list of broken bits and I'll check it against what's left in the gargre.

    Maybe one of the Wellington KB crew have a spare bike sitting in the garage that you could lend...

    Glad you're not too hurt, Cathy. Poor Betty, she'll be right.

    FANTASTIC NEWS CSL
    you are in one piece and betty has only cosmetic damage.
    you could hardly hope for a better outcome except not to have slid at all
    Ya might wanna check on the state of ya rim protectors just in case but it sounds like betty will be up and running in no time.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
