I've read of two previous incidents going right back to the early days.

Calum sorry to read of your incident but glad you are OK. Hopefully Revolutions will soon be able to tell you what need replacing & the insurers give the go ahead. Maybe you will be on replacement chassis number 3. I think I would be asking for at least one new front tyre, you cannot be sure there was no carcase damage, probably a wheel as well.

Tim, I was down in Perth for a look at things on Monday, most of the offside front quarter is effectively wrecked, wheel, caliper carrier, mudguard, wishbones, rack, rack mounts...the tyre will definitely be replaced, the shock will go for a check-over/rebuild and that's just the obvious major bits. The body tub is probably rather more damaged than it looked at first glance and may well need replaced but strangely the chassis might have come out of it okay but that will only be decided once the body is off and things become properly visible.

Just shows how flimsy these things are when they come across an immovable object with any speed.

If it needs a new body tub & possibly chassis is there a danger of it being written off.

Has the full extent of the damage now been assessed?

Not as yet, the body still really needs to come off to get at the chassis.
