Take it easy & don’t underestimate shock it doesn’t always appear straight away Chill & worry about the bike when you're sorted x
Wow - sorry to hear about that....hope your feeling better. Get the damage photos up for us all to go...... ooohhhh.....ahhhh.......(and then screw faces up).... Ive started to use the back brake more on my zed since i got a new brembo fandabydozy caliper....the hyper has always had a good rear brake.
OR, GWS, hope we can assist in getting the bike sorted, but for now do what you can to ease your muscles and mind. You will probably feel it a bit more tomorrow, plenty of tea required.
Get well soon mate, glad you walked away from it. I've always said when (not if) I off my bike and the frame/engine are good I will rebuild it as the insurance companies seem to write Ducatis off for having a scratch on them.
Agree with the above comments. I had a low speed off on diesel on a country lane a few years ago and although the Monster had R&G crash protectors fitted, it slid into a curb and the bars twatted the tank. Oh, well that's what insurance is for I thought and went to get a quote for repairs at Riders as advised by the insurance company. Because they're instructed to replace ANYTHING damaged with new, the quote came to nearly £1500, when the M600 was only worth slightly more on a good day and was likely to be written off. Oh well, all the damage is cosmetic and having done a spray course a few years back, I was confident I could fix everything, but wanted to be certain that I could buy back the salvage. When I asked the insurance, I was told they couldn't discuss that until I made a formal claim and sent in the repair costs, but as soon as I did that, the bike would legally become their property if it was deemed a write-off, plus it would be flagged as such on the database as a matter of course! In the end it cost me a couple of hundred quid and some time and effort and I got to keep a sentimentally important friend.
Bloody Nora oldie glad to hear your relatively ok Next few days will be painful mentally and physically Get your self healing
