You can see how bad it was, Deb slips as she walks through the ford!
Yeah, no one hurt and the crash bars did their work and saved a lot of damage to the bike.

Just a update had to buy new lever and clutch switch thought problem solved wrong, small bolt holding switch to clutch post broke off :fix: so could not attach new switch so went back to dealers in Grimsby  said I would have to buy all lot as a complete unit lever switch attached to post would not  give refund :groan on first parts lever and switch £33 :groan: so had to pay another £45.
In end took to bike shop to fix as heated grips had to come off to slide clutch post on £25 labour.
Also handguard damage now fixed with some barkbusters £65. No warning light coming on now :thumb: £168 in total birthday money gone never mind had a nice day out :thumb:
