On the way home from breakfast this morning on entering the roundabout at the bottom of the hill on Ewen st Inaloo a silly idiot women driver coming into the roundabout on the left decided to try and run me down, hitting the left pannier of the LT completely destroying it and just about knocking my bike over at the same time. Luckily I wasn't going that fast and she didn't hit my leg which was only slightly in front of the impact area . All the force went into destroying the pannier and pushing the back of the bike sideways which I managed to ride out of and kept going. I was so p...d off that I couldn't be bothered stopping .
Anyone know where I can get a new left side pannier champagne colour for a 1999 k1200 LT?

Wow......good you're OK. Scary encounter.

You didn't stop ?....
Have you her details as you re going to get a shock when you price up the pannier, perhaps,you would be better asking if anyone knows where there is a champagne coloured LT for sale....could be cheaper.

Glad to hear you are okay Bill but I can't believe you did'nt stop, even if it was only to give the lunatic bitch a rightious mouthful.

Still can't get over the 'Didn't stop' part ?!
However, a remarkable bit of motorcycle control there Bill. Taking a hit like that and holding the big hog upright
