Got it even more dirty than I did yesterday, ******* rain coming & going.

spraying my swingarm ready for the refit with my nitron shock

Had an off 
Crash bungs took most of the impact. Spent the night in A+E as I am fairly prode to concussions. Am fine tho, just have no memory of the crash. No one else involved or hurt so thats all good. Just want to get the bike back on the weekend and sort her out.

Just a shredded R+G bung and some scratches to a couple of fairing panels. Bung needs replacing but the scratches I can live with. Just want her back!

If you have no memory of the crash you need to get checked out that you didnt black out before hand.
I had a friend who used to be big into bikes, he rode everywhere and used to race motorcross.
One day he blacked out on the way to work and crashed, he had no idea what happened.
Nobody knew it was a black out till he did the same a few days later at work, then again in the van and crashed that as well.
Lost his license for a year or so while they made sure it wasnt going to happen again.

Hope you're ok though, no injury i hope?

Not a black out as far as I am aware, just took a decent knock to the head. New helmet did it's job. Everything just a bit fuzzy.
Am home and all limbs are accounted for. Waiting til the weekend to see whats up with the bike. Dad and brother recovering it for me today. Should be rideable so hopefully picking it up on Sat depending on how I feel.

Glad you're allright, hope it all comes back to you! Don't think I'd like not knowing what happened...
Nice little present when I got home; bunch of bits for the Versys from MotoWerks in the states. Comes wrapped as it's a "gift", see...
Looking forward to lower pegs and wider mirrors, if the weather would hold off long enough to fit them.

Fitted genuine Triumph LED indicators to the Street Triple this evening. Bit of a pain as the air box has to come off. They look great though, really good quality (which they should be considering how much they cost!)
Soldato
But you wouldn't know if the knock to the head came as you lost conciousness or after.
It's a decent point to get whatever checked that you can. It could be a lot worse if it happened again. Glad you're okay though

Got it home following the off. The damage is pretty minor.
Crash bung ordered. Fairing is scratched a bit and the brake lever is bent. Total cost of repairs £80.
The gear I had on didn't fair so well.
Helmet is a month old. Total write off.
Boots are scratched, the metal clip dosent work properly. Was planning on getting some Sidi boots anyway.
Leathers are okay, jeans have been ripped on a seam so will probably replace them after the summer.
Jacket is just scuffed.
All in all not too bad. Just wish i knew what happened.

if it were me id put a sticker over the scuff on the helmet
damage isn't too bad considering,some leather dressing might help disguise the scuffs on your leathers
did you get new side panel/lower fairing?

Not bothered about the fairing damage, it matches the other side being scraped too!
Helmet is fubar for me, didnt think about a sticker and ebay The knee on the trousers is leaky and to be honest they dont fit that well anymore so not the end of the world

For the scuffs on the leather get some black boot polish and a boot polish brush. Its not perfect but it disguises the scuffs very well, even at close viewing range.
