how about putting a link up then ,I want an icon variant might be cheaper in the good ol us. although I would like to try one on but no one sells em up norf.problem is if you get one from America it wont have the ec22-05 stamp on the back and its illegal to wear a helmet that doesn't have it, also the sizes for America are probably different, an XL over here might only be an L over there. good point. i'll keep looking here then ta.

cheers lads,a combination of things mike,my front brakes were shit at first and have just bedded in so are now pretty good,there was a bit of loose gravel on the road but I saw it and avoided it although there was a few stones dotted about the corner,i often carry a bit of front brake into the corner if I need to as the bandit has abs and this has never fazed me before. I have not set up my suspension as yet including setting the sag and it is a bit on the hard side. I was also a bit pissed with the bike as it was still not running right and I was moving a bit ,also the tyres are more touring tyres and I am used to a more grippy tyre. but at the end of the day I fecked up and can only look at this as another part of the learning curve of life. anyway its not the first time I've fell of a bike and it probably won't be the last I just don't bounce as well as I used to.
