update for you
thankfully, clarky boi is ok.
i just had email conversation with him.....and whilst he's taken a really hefty knock, it's not as bad as initial comments had suggested
he's back home now...battered and bruised....but thankfully nothing is broken. he had a real tumble at the first corner, after being taken out by another bike.
main thing is that he's in one piece........which is more than can be said of his 600, by the sounds of things, i'm afraid.
