Feck! What a night.
Big fat pigeon intimate with my left elbow resulting in puddins all over my nice new leathers! Feckin sore elbow. :(
Passing a long a row of parked cars on left down a narrow street, 20 mph, gets to second last car. Approaching Tesco driver decides he has right of way and runs me off road! Witnessed by half a dozen folk in their gardens. Tesco driver speeds off. ******! :x :x :x
Stop for a calm down. :)
Set off 10 mins later, crank on into into first right hander, Nokia falls out pocket. :oops: :oops: :oops:
Lucky white heather!!!
Sorry to hear you're not havin' a good one

Dont be mate.
Apart from the van driver I saw the funny side of it. The contents of the pigeons **** was a bit messy but the phone I could have done without.
On a plus note - got mt R & G's fitted :)

I assume there was no damage to your bike :?
Report the van driver, you dont need the reg, just place and time as all their vans are tracked, espcially if you've got witnesses, they are on strict road behaviour guidelines (to protect and enhance tescos image) and at the very least he'll get a couple of days stuck in training to modify his driving. :wink:

Yeah kept it upright. :D No damage to bike except one small chip in tank where it's beak must have hit.
Van driver reported. Tescos were very good - told me they take a very serious view of bad driver behaviour. The driver had a go at me at the time. Told me he was an ADI and that i had no right to be on the road (before speeding off). :toss:
Sorry to hear it for your sake.. but there's no denying the funny side :lol: :lol: happened to the opponent of an old friend of mine back in oz heading toward end of a drag strip.. only that one hit the bike first! The thing exploded so bad even my friend came back with a little bit of muck n feather evidence!! Hope your elbow's alright?! Did well to keep upright :wink: Take it that's the end of the phone then?? :( Hope Tesco wnker gets the sack!
