One fewer R1200S...
Bank Holiday Monday, on the A338 between Burbage and Hungerford in north Wiltshire.
Everyone involved ok (including me).
Massive thanks to the emergency services and everyone who stopped to help.
Ride safe everyone.

Oh, nasty, but the main thing is you're ok.
Any lessons that we can learn from? I'm not asking for gory details, just any sage advice from your experience.

Re: One fewer R1200S...
Been there and empathise with the loss of your bike but the fact that everyone is ok is the most important.
As Grip Fast asked, anything we could learn from your experience?

Great news that you are ok. That looks a pretty high impact for the bike. Hope the human element faired better.
Keep on keepin on.
