Sorry to hear about your off, would agree with Wolfie insurance would write it off, when I came off the damage was a lot less but to insurer it was a write off (I see you are third party so won't be claiming) I was fully comp, but after advice on here, withdrew the claim with insurance and repaired my self with second hand parts. I spoke to the insurers engineer and they never listed it as accident damaged as it was cosmetic damage -insurer quote to repair ?2700!!
Good luck with the bits, takes a while to get it back together, but plenty of assistance on here@tu*

When I was a child my big sister used to dress me up as a girl and call me Olivia... I think I've said too much already!

As for the films, I can neither confirm or deny!

Pain and road rash are part of the down sides in motorbiking in my less fortunate experiences, I have watched my pride and joy overtake me on it's side and many thousands of pounds delaminate in front of me and come to a stop with blood pouring from my skinless arms and still feel angst at my machines destruction over my own stupidity.Thankfully you are breathing and typing and commiserations on sending it "up the road".

That's pretty much exactly how I'm feeling right now. I picked up the bike this afternoon and have just taken most of the broken bits off. When I get home I'll post the pictures on here. There are some things which seem simple enough and other things that are still a mystery right now. Once I get the pics up I'll explain what I mean. Ov

So it looks as if it might not be so bad in terms of frame or fork damage. With all the plastics off the main thing bent was the front metal bracket that holds the indicators on. This attached to the frame with a few bolts and un screwed fine. The oil cooler looks ok, as does the radiator.

... A few things that are unknown to me are the leak on the right hand side lower side fairing where the plastic wore away. What is this andwhat could the fluid be?
Where the crash mushroom was attached it now looks like this.
Another thing is the front brake line from the handlebar. Should it be as bent as it is?
Apart from that, it looks surprisingly straight (apart from the right handlebar obviously).
Flat rear tyre too, which might be why I drifted wide and hit the mud in the first place.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated. And if you happen to have any front ends of a blackbird lying around I'd like to know! Thanks, Ov

Is a lunp
cone bracket buy new, bastid to get straight again.
front brake line nope, bar bar is bent so rest is not in right place.
rear angle doesnt look right might be the camera angle but subframe looks bent ie higher on the right hand side.
crash mushroom area is a problem, look like the lug has snapped off in there, but good thing is frame looks ok there.
cover is the pulser cover
oil return pipe underneath it, check there for leak.
