This thread is nothing without pictures!

So you did £7000 worth of damage to a bike you sold for £2800? That's got to be a record of some sort...

If there's anything you need a hand with don't be shy about asking mate and we'll form an orderly queue.

Now for god's sake get some rest!

Good to see you well enough to come on here and let us know how you are.

One lucky man. What speed do you/police reckon you were doing when you hit the harvester?

on yer bike · 22-09-07, 01:17 PM

the speed was inpossible to measure by the police due to the bike being stoped right after braking by a huge chunk of metal, not got the full report yet tho, this is goin on the initial report, i estimate i went round the corner at 40mph so will have hit just below that due to the very small braking distance.

Yeah its always a worry what you will come across when goin round a bend.

What are the police saying. Is the driver of the combine being taken to task for stopping too close to the bend?

again, this was just the initial report, still waiting on a police statement, although speaking to the police officers they have said they are not charging either party, but my personal accident solicitor is looking into it all 4 me.
