Tis with much sadness that I'm here to say that I'm not sure when I'll be able to ride again. Through a number of events that occurred, the "Minister of War" has been riding my bike as her's has a light problem and she had a little run in ........ with a tree we don't have!! Cathy has ended up with a fractured right ankle and has to have pins inserted next Thurs. She is also wearing a lovely gravel rash on her left shoulder and forearm as she was only riding 10 mins away, she didn't have all the gear on. She now understands why we say all the gear all the time!! I'm sorry about the size of the pics....don't do much computer stuff and have tried to re size them for the last 2 hours! Here are just some of the pics of Rory I've taken: Front guard with a bite taken out...broken mounts through the forks and from the rear of the forks snapped off: Left foot peg and gear lever both bent: Right peg and rear brake bent, there's the remains of the front guard in the back ground: Right mirror bent over and control brackets bashed: Left mirror broken clean off and fuel tank dented, both Shadow emblems on either side of the tank have received gravel rash too: Seat ripped and rear guard dented where the seat bolts to it and is scuffed heavily and one of the indicator stalks have had a beating too: 'cause I'm having such a good year so far.......I'm going back to bed and can someone wake me up next year please. Brian.

Hi ppl,
thanks for all your well wishes for Cathy, she will be a bit sore and sorry for quite a while yet. Don't think she'll realize what actually happened and from the marks on her helmet I'm not surprised, it took a big impact too!
Thanks for everyone's offers of their extra bits, I've started the ball rolling on a claim, hopefully that should have Rory back to good as new before Cathy. Think I'll lose my throw over saddle bags though....they cam off in the accident too.
Hope to catch up with you all rather sooner or later, as I see we have been getting quite a few new members up here lately.
Brian.
