hmmm took the mille out for its first run after gettting alarm fixed got 400yards onto main road went for 4th gear at 30mph, and then headbutted floor not got a clue what happened???????

back in work now with a dislocated clavicle and a few scabby bits

got a trashed helmet but the bike seems to have escaped fairly lightly

right side only, bar end both brake levers carbon handgaurd outer top fairing panel mid panel, belly pan indicator mirror ah well could have been much worse.

Any one selling yellow body parts or any of the other bits drop me a line
or even an entire set of bodywork might be interested in a black set

Sorry to hear that Kaiser, sounds odd that it happened so fast with no warning .....still at least you "walked away" and the bike can be fixed

cheers for the messages guys, apart from the itchy scabby bit of gravel rash, the only big thing wrong is the dislocated collar bone, which is giving me a bit of grief. Think i concussed myself a bit at the time as couldnt get up and walk staright for two days afterwards.

oddly enough i got up picked the bike up and rode back home, swearing loudly , and too worried about the bike to feel the pain

My son trained as a paramedic in the Marines and he says there's a technical name for this. Can't remember what it is but it's something to do with the accepted practice that bikers can break bones falling off their bikes, still get up, pick the bike up and ride off. Therefore, (paramedics) don't work on the assumption that, just cos they can do that, they're OK.

Anyway K, speedy recovery mate.
