I did think much the same actually, and just past the junction is a fuel station so again not a good place. The driver did say it was all her fault though as she slowed, and indicated as she turned, obviously without looking, but when called for a witness statement I shall just say what I know and heard.
We beat the bike straight enough to ride home and I followed him to make sure he was okay. The outcome is, Roof Boxer lids are shit, chinese reasets bed well, fibreglass seat units make lots of noise o the road, Blade fairings crack in all sorts of places, magnetic tank bags escape at times like this, tanks dent when the throttle housing hits them, and it is possible to lose the RS grip and not be able to find it.
