Dave, I can't help with the "in France" bit, but I have a spare generator cover here if Cliff needs it (don't have his number). I don't know how long the post would take, but I can post if needed.

Back last night at 20.00 after a 1001 mile drive non stop as had to be home for today,, ya gotta love French Autoroutes, worth the Toll in my opinion..

Bit pissed off at Auntie Carol as the whole recovery process was a bit shoddy, but really the details are minor, it's a busy time in France also,, it's mainly to do with the repatriaton of the bike as i was told it would depend on the Market value of it, wether they bought it home again,, they sell there insurance mainly cos of the "get ya home" policy which they push strongly so should not of been a consideration really,,,,, if your going abroad make sure they explicitly confirm for you,,, anyways calling France tonight to find out where my baby is,, up to 2 weeks to get her home..

Presently it looks like just an Alternator cover is required as it got smashed up a bit,, lost no fluids from the bike, front mudguard is toast and the belly pan,, crash bungs were great,, will need a new pair,, scratched the right exhaust and the right handgaurd a bit,, and that's it i think,,,side panels were'nt touched biggrin.gif

Will post piccies later.... Oh the fookin bassad car drivers on are Motorways want fookin shootin,,,,,bleedin bunch of arsewipes...

Cheers fellas, and yep Sidey if it was'nt for the wobble box i would most definatley not have a bike as it would of bounced all the way to the river,,, was a slow speed drop and the pics look much worse than it was in reality,, i fell off and slid a little while i watched the bike slide into the van,,, sore shoulder and ribs for awhile but Jacket and pants did their job and are still in good nick.
Looks like only the Alternator cover needs replacing,, bike started afterwards,, will see when Auntie gets it home.
