Good to hear you're all good, lot easier to fix a bike than flesh and bones, cold comfort maybe but true.

Oh shit. Orange and black bandit, with pillion standing on the footpath, just down from the fire station? I saw you there, and contemplated stopping, but you seemed ok; I figured you were just collecting or dropping off your pillion.

Glad to hear you're ok.

Yeah that was the one. I went back to the scene shortly after because I remember a bus drove past after and shot whatever it was onto the side of the road. Turned out to be a lot of small concrete bits!!! Must have hit one while going round the corner. How the hell does something like that find its way onto the road............... Oh, did I mention I had a pillion? *whistle* Minor details He is fine. Thank goodness I had him all kitted out.. Just a sore bum. First thing I checked on wasnt the bike... He seemed to be content jumping up and down holding his ass though! I'm thankful the accident didnt turn out to be worse. And yes... karma is a bitch.

I just spent a few hours making sure everything is OK. I will need new engine mounting bolts for the right side, and the steering head needs weilding. Also the exhaust will need replacement (can end) as it has nearly been grounded to the core. An excuse for a loud can? I think so. Also need to get a replacement big black bung for the right side. The previous one saved my bikes ass!!

I replaced the back brake lever, brake switch, re-aligned the forks, replaced the indicator with something temp (until I get the nice buell ones again) and did a once over on the bike. It seems to be making some odd engine noises, probably carbon buildup becoming loose...? I might get someone to take the head off and inspect it just to be sure.

Any advise people can give about what to check for (just in case) please let me know. I think I've nearly covered all post crash inspections...

Thanks guys.
