    Just read this Jimbo. Totally gutted mate. As you say though, your fine and the bike is fixable which is the main thing.

    There's been way too many offs this month :(

    Mate, that's a sad sight, good to see you've retained your sense of humour though pal. Here's hoping you're back on the road soon.

    Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the universe together.

    I wasn't there when they took the Ducati away and can't quite work out whether that was the right thing to do or not.

    Looks less damaged than I thought like the BDR job (Battle Damage Repair) in the forces we used black maskers but the parcel tape is a great substitute and looks rather flash :)

    No point crying about it JD, just got to get it sorted...But thanks mate - rest assured I'll be in le t having a cold bottle beer with you boys...

    To be fair, that's the good side jamie, the duct tape is completely holding the nose cone, clock etc on...

    Well that certainly could of been worse apart from the front end the rest of the bike seems ok. lucky for you parts for 08+ are well stocked on ebay at the moment. just the upper fairing will be the hard part to get hold of 2nd hand

    Well if he's used Duct Tape in the first place it would have repaired itself by now!
