Rider down

Set off work this morning as usual. As I approached the end of my drive there was a car coming so stopped and let it past before pulling out behind it. Having followed said car for about !/2 mile down the lane we live down and he appeared to be staying well over to the left as if leaving space for me to pass. Not being suicidal I kept behind when he started to brake and appeared to pull in to a space on the left. I took this a signal to pass him and as I did so he turned RIGHT!!! Bike is totalled as it appears to have bent the frame. A few parts are salvagable but will have to get myself back on my feet after my excursion in to the field and a trip to hospital in an ambulance.

If anyone wants any bits drop me a line and I will see if they survived.

Bloody hell thats a quick but painful way to streetfighter a bike.. most people use a spanner and screwdrivers, not a small family saloon..

Glad youre ok. Bikes get replaced, unlike riders.

Well you've done some mods lately ..... hadn't realised that this was the next phase .....



Besides wincing at the bruises, you must be gutted after all your hard work - I would be.

Hope you have no issues in sorting out the insurance claim against him and get a good enough payout to replace. Hope you recover well too.

So sorry mate. :smt009
Hope you are OK, probably have a few bruises coming up at the very least, but sounds like it could have been much worse for you.
