I can't quite remember the actual cost. But I do remember that the deduction was a little expensive but still okay. No charges for other damages. The bike shop also refunded the "fine" I paid to the traffic police.

You would have to look at my GPS tracks for the actual speed but I would estimate around 45km/h.

I took very few stops between Haputale to Galle. You can say that I was riding hard.
