Cruising home later that night, I total my motorbike. Like it's a write-off. I did a full 360 flip going around a corner when i hit some sand. - Why do I always forget to take photos of the good stuff?!
I had taken this corner and looked down to change down a gear as it wasn't working (the bikes were playing up heaps) and when i looked back up i was heading straight for a gutter and realised I needed to turn left, fast!
I went to do so, hit some sand and my bike jumped hard right instead, threw me into a metre deep gutter, did a full flip itself and then somehow we ended up together back on the road.

The gutter (taken out a bus window the next day)...
I was pretty good health wise - just heaps of grazes all over my body and face but the bike was pretty ruined. Leaking oil, pieces lying on the road etc. Had to hire a truck to take it back but I'm all good and i just paid off the owner so it's all good if a little crazy.
Just a few grazes...
Things looking scaby...
But we're now in Nga trang (Vietnam's premier dive spot) and i can't swim as it hurts like buggery!
Oh well. Life goes on.
