So there I was motoing along,
slipping away from shitty Adelaidean drivers
...approaching my left turn,
miss Audi in front of me goes part way around the corner,
I notice a cyclist approach the crosswalk from the footpath
miss Audi panics and stops on the spot
I grab too much front and down she goes, out from underneath m.f.er
Get up from my knee no major scrapes just torn pant knee great!
I look over and my rocket is laying on her side gettin angry, so kill switch and clean'n'jerk her upright again.
Push her sobbing ass around corner and up onto the footpath to see scratches all across the left side fairings, lil on tank & rear side pod.
Miss Audi was nice enough to come back and check on me, I was angry at myself and did my best not to unleash it on her.
I am all good but then I notice left mirror arm is snapped at the base, handle bar is out whack on the left side, bar end notched and clutch lever knocked around and seat has popped out of place. Thankfully no engine case damage nor much else.
So I got myself together, packed my backpack with mirror parts, reset my seat and continue on my way.
Following this mornings appointments motoed to dealer for rough qoute
Rough price on replacement panels may add up to $3k
Well insurance may well be recieving a call tomorrow
