Hi Pleiades, They make those Tenere's tough!, the forks seem a little twisted in the yokes, I'm going to play around with that today. I want to get the wheel checked out for 'true ness '.. the front tyre really deformed into the rim on impact. As for me I have quite a gash on my knee and it's very painful. ..which is very strange as I didn't even notice until I got home and I can't work out how it happened. ..as for the car drivers details I gave the numberplate to the police and they will write to him ...they weren't impressed with his driving! . Is there anything else I should check on the Tenere. ..? A lot of it is 'seat of the pants' stuff...you know how your own bike should feel and handle. Any advice appreciated. Steve
