Scuba Craig
Supercharged
Well ... got rear-ended on the way back from the beach at lunchtime today. Was stopped in traffic, car behind didn't notice traffic stopped and ran straight up the back of me. Pillion was launched over the top of me and landed on his feet. Bike went over on the right side.
Bike was towed to bike shop and is awaiting insurance assessor. Visible damage includes
No people damage.
Bad news. If the parts aren't in stock in Australia then they will likely take 2+ months to arrive. Maybe more because of Christmas.
