A numb brain, cold tyres and a slippery roundabout did for me at the beginning of the season. Side fairing, nose cone, screen, rear fairing, levers, brake reservoir, mudguard, forks, lower fork yoke, I forget what else ... at least my leathers were repairable.

Not a lot of fun I don't think my confidence really returned all year.

Here's to next year, though!

Dropped my 998s going up a kerb to get into a shop for its MOT, cost approx £700 to put right, now all I`m weighting for is my seat & panels back from ProTwins!

[madmav]

One for me I happened an hour after picking up the bike.

Dropped the 996 at 2 mph but that wasn't my fault (broken shock absorber).

Nothing else this year Got off lightly, really.

That's soooooooooo koolio !!!!!

I've lost count of my crashes but NEVER been caught on camera! gutted. it would almost be worth it!

After each one I scan through all the photo sites but they've never captured it.

closest i got was my avtar - not really a hero shot !!!

[stumpy1]

First time out this year at cadwell to see what my DD bike was going to be like for next year!

lost the front in the wet at the hairpin in the woodland section!!

Dropped my Gilera Saturno at the chicaine at Almeria at Easter-washed out the front-cold(ish) tyre-prat.
Mind you it later got it's own back by trashing the cambelt when the waterpump seized-4 bent valves...............
