I got reversed into by a twonk in a mondeo! whilst i was on the bike!

i cannot believe it, the guy had a clear passage at a junction but decided to let a lorry turn into the space by reversing.

Bet you can't guess what his first words were!!!!

The sooner they alow mini mirror mounted gatling guns on bikes the sooner this type of crap will stop happening.

Some years ago a friend of mine was sitting on his bike right outside my house, in a space easily big enough to park a car with no trouble at all. A car, a Bentley no less, drives right past him, stops, and reverses into the space that my mate is in, despite our shouting at the car from very nearby, d1(khead driver manages to punt friend and bike about 6ft along the space before realising anything is amiss, bike mullahed good and proper, friends leg broken, Bentley driver completely convinced of his utter blamelessness.

Them's all To55er5

After a thump like that I'd be checking the shape of my forks very carefully...
