bummer mate

i know theres not been much good news and this isnt a great help but you can order the r&g bung singlely direct from there or maybe even a dealer,doubt they do a free replacement.
i'd definately follow layne and moose's advice and get it proffesionally checked over before doing owt else

Sorry to hear it Si, gutted for you :cry: As said as long as you're ok but then your not cos your bikes broke.

What about insurance, especiely if not your fault.

R&G bolts are designed to bend so they don't snap on impact.

Let me know if I can do anything mate. As i said on the phone keep the foot elevated and in a cold pack it'll be fine just man it up.

I'd check the frame around the R&G too as sometimes they can bend the frame.

Can always use the R6 at llandow and pembrey mate, no problem.

Oh no simon. Sorry to hear this.

I hope the bill isn't too bad and you are ok. Honestly, was it 10mph? When I crashed my car I said it was at 40mph, (no skidmarks to confirm) it was nearly double that.

Your other post that you made in the rideout section now makes sense!
