my bike in an accident

[manxsv]

A couple of photos of my bike which was involved in an accident on the TT course at Glen Helen on the Isle of Man, lent my bike to my mate to use over TT week and he ws just doing a lap of the course when he came round the bend and was confronted with another bike, and neither rider had any chance to avoid each other, the other rider was from Germany and is thought to have got confused which side of the road he should have been on, the whole incident has been caught on film and will be used as evidence, spoke to the traffic police and after watching the footage both men are lucky to be alive, the only injuries my friend suffered were severe brusing and cuts, the other rider came off worse with broken bones and is still in hospital, not bothered about the bike as the insurance should sort it all out, just glad he is still alive.

was cheesed off about the bike at first as I spent loads over winter doing it up, but at the end of the day its only a bike and can be replaced, just glad my friend wasnt seriously injuried or worse killed, it wasnt his fault and believe me he feels terrible for what has happened,
