Not on the road or anything but in the front garden, luckily landed not so badly on the grass but i held on to the throttle grip when it fell and ripped it off the handle bars. Glad i wasn't on the road though, could of been rather scary

You got away lucky then.

The last time i dropped mine, the handle bar squashed my left bollock. No damage though, just dented pride. (or should i say testickle)

If i were you i would take the fairings off and check to see if anything is bent like faring brackets.
