thanks for the replies. yeah, left Kayes early morning and arrived in Bamako around midnight.
Did a fair chunk of corrugations in the dark, which was interesting and hopefully not going to be repeated. Broke the Enfield frame in three places, popped the fork seals and smashed the headlight. Never crashed, that's just what the corrugations did! So that all added to the general depression. I was resigned to stopping, or getting an alternative bike, which is why I rode faster than I should have and broke the bike.
But, the hangover is now gone and it's a new day. Taking two weeks out, getting replacement frame parts/headlight/forks seals for the bike and will fix it up and carry on. This particular Bullet just doesn't deserve to die like this
