Default after only owning the bike for 30min this is whats happened :(

hey guys
Yesterday started great but ended in disaster.

After finally finding a new bike for my little brother who is on his full licence now,and convinced me to go for my bike licence.(which i got before christmas)

after only owning the bike for 30min my first time actually taking the bike out for a ride (only local streets ) after really getting into riding for about 20mins, as still learning i come up to a roundabout seeing that there is someone behind me a put my blinker on early and slow down i little bit more then i would usually just to make sure that she realizes that im going slowly around the roundabout turning right i just touch the brake just so i dont run wide exiting, then BAM!!!!!!!!!!! the bitch hits me myself and the bike both hit the ground lucky i jumped straight up.

apart from stiffness and soreness no injuries docter is sendin me for a xray today just incase.




whole number plate area completely destoryed





exhaust badly damaged



brake and foot peg damaged

blinker broken which damaged the fender/fairing

handle bar scratched

mirros scratched

Thats bad news at least your okay, the bike still looks ride able, like efoo said now you have custom fender eliminator. Also you have a chance to get to know your bike a little better as you can start repairing what was damaged. The main thing is YOU didnt get hurt.
