Finally got wifi working here at RAT Hahndorf. GREAT TO SEE SUCH AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT. From his own pictures and texts/calls it seems @HansO is already well on the road to recovery assisted by the loving support of all especially now he is home with Ann. The next few months will be trying but hopefully the frame is straight and as I know the luggage took most of the impact a good payout and lots of us dipping into our extensive spares may get 'The 'Mistress' back on the road possibly a different skin color but with the same old heart.

I have a set of Phantom Black tins from Graham White an ex R3Owners forum poster @gra53. I got them cheap and will pass on the same. (Tank, f&r guards, side covers). Also have spare stock Roadster bars, end weights, grips, Horn cover, radiator hoses and Roadster manifold, covers and stock Roadster pipes/collector - {spares from mine & Graham), Roadster screen and fittings, leather panniers & frames (from deceased 'Blasted Bones'}.

We will need levers and headlights, radiator, rear and front rims possibly but I know HansO has a spare rear wheel already. F&R blinkers possibly, also foot brake and gear levers.

Engine and diff appeared OK and not leaking fluids from memory when loading on tow vehicle.

Front end to be assessed. Corbin dual tour unscathed, rear brake caliper cactus I think. I have a tow bar too will never need.

As you say Pete between all of us we should be able to make this right. @HansO when you are talking to the insurance company and it assessor tell them you want to keep it (if you do of course) and NOT to whack a statutory write off on it cod if they do that bike will NEVER be able to be registered again

Thanks Guys, not really sure what happen I had notice a small amout of side wind bursts earlier but they only gave the clear view screen a tiny wiggle, I am only guessing when I say that there may have been some debris on the road that i happen to miss with possibly touch up from a gust but all i know is it was like the bars were reefed out of my hands i tried to wrestle it back under control but failed

This happened to a great mate on the way to our national AGM. Kevie rides a new Guzzi and was blown off the road. A very experienced rider but faired worse than the bike; but still alive to talk about it!!!!

Brother Hans, what can I say to make it better? I guess nothing. I am saddened to hear of this as I know from personal experience how painful a broken Humorous is. Keep to the medical advise and do all your therapy. My orthopedic surgeon told me I probably could not do push-ups anymore and definitely could do pull-ups; however, he is better than he gave himself credit for as I can indeed do these things.

Here is the medal I won for my broken arm... I hope yours is less invasive...

Hey Boog ! That top one looks like a clevis pin, is that for easy removal of your arm for cleaning ? ;)
