Unfortunately, not for the bike but for me!

No, just came a cropper turning into a side street. I don't really know what happened, I just tipped sideways. I was probably only doing 5kph. Good news is that there was almost no damage to the bike, probably as it landed on top of me!  I snapped the gear select toe peg off and scrapped the bar-end mirror and clutch lever. There is a small scratch on my new paintwork and I managed to melt my textile trousers onto the exhaust header. Goodness knows how I get that crap off!

Left, I did the right one 10 years ago, on my first motorcycle riding test!

Sorry to read about that. Heal fast.  ;)

Wonder if they used a torque wrench and thread lock?  ;)

Heal well, friend! I had a handful of those along with a plate in my right collarbone once. They make nice souvenirs once they are removed!
