Hello all,
Unfortunately my '071200GSA went down badly a couple of weeks ago - written off. I have some bits and pieces, which weren't on the bike at the time available for sale, luggage, seats, tank bag - see here-

Hi, sorry to read about your crash and the knee. Did you get to understand what caused it? Nothing like pinch bolts, was it? Bin
 
Didn't get to discover cause. Totally prepared to blame myself as no one else involved but would like to know if only to live and learn. It was a strange one. No squirms or 'sh*t I'm gone' moment. No warning at all. Just one minute fine next slammed to ground. My brother was behind me and according to him the front of the bike just folded up, I was down and the bike basically tumbled down the road missing me by inches. The road conditions were perfect and I was travelling in a straight line at about 65kmh. Possible mechanical failure does occur to me, incuding fork pinch bolts but the dealer refused to accept the bike in for assessment so I'll never know. It was a close one. Because the bike tumbled virtually every part of it was damaged. The drive shaft and casing were snapped in half and the forks completely misaligned. It was hard to say if any damage was a cause or result.

Sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are OK. Fk the bike as long as you are OK.
I would have an engineer check it out maybe the insurance company will do that.

Alan,
My insurance was through Carol Nash and the insurance company proper was groupama. They had the bike taken from the original recovery company to City Spares which is where I presume it still is.
Regards
Jim
