Well just got back from Cadwell and dropped the bike against the wall, mirror all scratched, nose cone broken, screen broken and possible bent screen brace.

The two bits I just replaced are both now damaged, sods law, didn't check the rear but don't think it touched.

Update:
Taking the screen brace to the local engineers tomorrow morning to be straightened, I've had a look at the headlight surround more and it doesn't look too bad to repair, plastec should do it then ill try to cover it with some of the correct colour paint at a later date. Although I do have a spare headlight surround (type 2 so totally wrong colour) which will do if I find my plastex is no longer usable when I don't it out on Sunday
Will need a new screen though as it can't be attached at all in the right hand side.
Also going to have a new right mirror.

Been keeping a record of my fuel costs and my current average is 59.2. But it's been bought up by three tanks worth of motorway rising versus one tank of on muting since I started recording
