Hi All
Although incredibly minimal damage (and straightened better than it originally was) it was a serious reality wakeup call this morning. Side-swiped by a rental van and pushed into oncoming London North Circular traffic, and ended up sitting on the bonnet of an oncoming car. Probably quite funny to onlookers, but in reality could have been a really nasty one...........

hi they don't seem to take no notice of motorcycles on the north circular i think brent cross is a bad place to go past you can get side swipe from the left or the right when they want to go off the north circular or joining it i think you got away very lightly because they fly down that road and now you have do a few repairs

Hell's teeth - clearly it could have been an awful lot worse, how did your foot/ankle survive?
(Speaking from experience :( :( )

Nice work with the brake pedal and footrest. (How did you straighten the footrest? I've only managed that with a lot of heat in a brazing hearth.)
