    Had slow off this morning.

    Mercedes swerved into my path and took me out, bike is over 70k, minor damage to right side, mirrors and screen but forks might be bent so probably gonna be a write off.

    T.V police, Met and ambulance all did a sterling job to ensure all were OK

    I'm OK though, dainese, arai, alpine stars and daytona did their job!

    Keep safe peeps!

    That's some mileage!

    Glad you are ok and hope the insurances aren't too much if a pain.

    Also sorry to hear, and happy you're okay. Might be irrelevant as far as insurance, but it appears the RH frame slider did its job!

    Looks like you were travelling at a pace your guardian angel could do their job. Glad you’re okay and hope the bikes either fixable or suitably recompensed for. Be safe :)

    Sorry to hear of your accident.

    You're ok that's the main thing, the bike can be replaced.

    Yes they did, my GB covers don't seem to any where near touching tarmac. Not sure though how they would cope at higher speeds and dig in - Im thinking cartwheels?
