I've got a matching gortex suite if you want to... has similar crash damage.
The old girl doesn't look too bad. the panniers took the brunt of the damage in the crash, as did the tank bag, which you can see forlornly hanging on the right side of the bike. The left hand pot is comprehensively worn through, and it did go barrel rolling along the M6 from about 60 mph, so probably not ready to ride away....
Cheers,
Paul

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

It was in the region of 48k miles, so just about run in. FYI, the insurance company thought it was more economical to give me £3.3k write off value for it rather than repair it...
