The bike has some cosmetic damage to the front. I'm fine, little bit sore but generally ok.

As it turns out, the guy was reversing because he missed his turning.

I couldn't move out of the way because, one, I haven't been doing aforementioned backwards running with weights, and two, there were a large number of cars parked on the other side of the road.

Fallout, I stopped a long way behind it so that I could see his mirrors and see why he'd stopped.

I think I covered everything.

If you were 10 metres behind him, you could have moved forward and alongside his driver side increasing your chance of being seen.

There was no way to get beside the van. And by the time he'd started reversing he would have been too close for me to get on the curb.

Also, I had my lights on full beam. Did I mention I could see his mirror and see his eyes. He didn't even look.
