Binned the Benelli this morning

[Joulesos]

On the ride with the PSB group this morning, I binned the new Benelli .
Thanks to everyone on the ride for their assistance. Thanks to Scott from PSB (your user name escapes me) for bringing a trailer to the crash scene and to everyone for lifting the bike onto the trailer (front rim smashed and jammed in suspension).
Thanks to Vicky, the Ambulance officer whose property I lost it in front of, for patching me up and assessing me.
I am a bit banged up, but ok, however the Benelli is not looking too crash hot. There were a few photos taken I think so I'm sure there may be some posts.
I had summer textile jacket with armour, kevlar jeans, riding boots, gloves and helmet, and still sustained some injuries.
Will post a few images for people who decide to go out riding without gear, to show what can happen even with gear.
Hoping that the bike will be a write off as I'm sure it will take a long time to find parts and be repaired.
Thanks again to everyone. This would have been a lot more painful without the assistance from everyone involved.

Bad news. Heal fast rider.

[Buzz_80]

Hope that you heal fast, and the bike gets written off.

Glad you're OK, that graze looked painful, now's your chance to milk it for sympathy at any new-years'-eve party you go to.

Heal up fast!

[Stoneville]

Oh dear glad to hear you are OK, hope you are back on the bike asap

[Fozzy]

Happy to help out with the trailer. Heal up quick mate.

Having a look at your bike again. I think it will easily be a write off in parts alone, Assuming Benelli parts are pretty expensive. Once you add labor on top its going to be up there.

[filbert]

always sad to lose or hurt a bike but sounds like you'll get a chance to get back out there

hope the injuries aren't too painful and the healing goes well

[TakeTwo]

Sucks to hear mate hopefully a speedy recovery and youre out and about in no time!

[R160]

crap!!! Damm Jules, at least your okay, maybe a new nelli and a chance to buy the wreck back. Excellent though that you ended up okay :-).

I would'nt streess over a repair job, parts would all be here within a month. or new TnT asap if its written off. would make a good project too.

heres a little sneak peek - for those that are interested - heres one lucky fella - coulda been a lot worse -

leathers helped a S*** load - just ask the ambo chick that patched him up

10 points fozzy on the rescue trailer - job well done -
