Totally can't explain what happened but slid for a bit. The gear did what it was supposed to and all. Bike not too badly damaged and all I got was a skinned elbow so feeling pretty lucky. Guess I'll now find out how good my insurance is eh?

I've attached some photos of the bike, road and carnage. Can't even explain how I got dumped. Shows you what even a low speed off can do eh? Glad I was wearing all the gear.

dude.............................................. ......... 2mates crash out same day for vstrange reasons easter monday is now a no ride day.

Condolences man, hope you and your girl are fighting fit soon, heheh, makes you all to painfully aware of how fragile we are.

Did you run wide off the road? Or is it a slip?

What a weekend eh? Hope you'll get back up on the road soon.

Glad to see the gear held up and you suffered minimal injury!

Ah well, better the bike than you ... now comes the process of getting it all tickety-boo again!

Slip. I moved left 6 inches and thats when the front wheel came out. There was shiney stuff all over the front wheel.

Thanks for the well wishes all. Contacted insurance today, so far good experience.

Ha - I was wondering how your pillion got on..... until I realised you might be one of those who name your bike? or is Laxi another rider on another bike??

After looking at your photos - all I can say is at lest you've got cool sunglasses
