Had a bit of a down on the way home tonight. ABS probably would have helped.
Car in front was hit by a blue BMW coming the other way. I braked hard to not hit either and the front wheel locked.
GTR1000 has a lot of busted plastic and a bent fairing frame but runs fine.
I am heavily bruised and some small grazes but nowt broken. :banana: :banana:

BMW tosser just drove off.  :death: :tank: :shit: :gun_bandana: :censored: :2guns:
May need to invest in some cameras for the bikes as am getting sick of arseholes doing a runner after doing a stupid.

Woman driving the car in front was shaken but OK. Damaged front wing and wing mirror.

Gutted to hear what happened to you George, glad you got out of it without anything too serious, but you'll probably be sore tomorrow.  Sounds like your pride and joy will cost a few quid to put right though. I think a camera will be a wise choice with all the commuting you do. Get well soon mate.

Hoping it's a quick heal for you and the GTR's a straightforward repair.
Really hoping Karma exists towards the BMW driver,  you can't dish that out without expecting it back at some point!
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Get Well Soon, I'm glad things  don't sound too serious in terms of injuries; the mad b******d might have caused something MUCH more serious.

It beggars belief that anyone would ever drive away from such an incident, especially when there's a biker and bike on the road behind the rest of the carnage they caused...

Glad to hear you're not badly hurt. Pain in the :asshole: getting the bike fixed now :sad:

On the upside, you walked away from it relatively unscathed, which is great :yes:

Hope you and the bike mend soon.

Cheers,

Paul B.

Not surprised he did a runner........Don't think i'd wanna face you angry !!

Glad you ok.    I'm sure some cameras somewhere would pick him up.

Boomer

Thanks peeps, it was on a country lane so no cameras nearby.
Bike needs new fairing cowl and left side as well as the inner and the fairing frame.
Also need a new centrestand and a few other minor bits.
I have most of it in my spares collection,except the cowl and centrestand.
Looks like about £300 in bits and about 30hrs work

I have a purple egg on my left hip and an achy chest and left arm, oh and both thumbs hurt.
But nothing Paracetamol and Ibuprofen can't handle.  :wheelchair:
