I'm ok, bashed my already bad hip, trauma too ligaments but ok. Just rest let it heal itself as best it can. A lot better feeling today.

More gutted about bike, if didn't hit kerb it be cosmetic but kerb took out wheel and can. Snapped off top rg and bent lower bung

As "nasa" once said "we can rebuild him". Though be slow process. Bidding on fr and rear brembo wheels, the oz I will get as and when I can.

I've seen the pics on facebook :smt010

There are a few OZ rears on the bay-of-evil at the moment: ..... got one in my garage too (bought a pair when I was looking just for a front) .... was hanging on to it until a point at which I was 15,000% sure I would never need it ..... but given your predicament, I could be persuaded to part with it.

Will have a look in the spares cupboard and see what I have spare


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Can't help with the spares but sorry to read about it. Hope you and the bike both heal quickly.
Insert humourous comment here

Sorry to hear that. I've got left hand switchgear but it's the late type without a lights on/off switch. I've also seen a peg in the shed today but I'm not sure which side. I'll check tomorrow.

Gutted for you. Glad to hear you've not damaged yourself too much. Hopefully you'll not have much trouble finding the parts you need.

D-Rider, let me know what you'd be looking.

Possibly need too wait and get the other stuff first, funds lol

Yeah - no worries - it's sitting in a box in my garage, not going anywhere.
I'll check it over too but don't foresee any issues with it.

Let me know when it becomes more of a priority item and hopefully I'll have had a better look at it by then.
