Glad your ok but.....

Ha sorry to be the morbid one here but.....

If any bought the "bike" mag this month you would see that they found out the cars that bikes are most likley to be hit by.

Guess what the #01 car that you are most likley to be hit by is......The Corsa.

Sorry but you just become a statistic

Seriously tho hope your ok and that u get a new bike then at least that might be some consilation.

Have to go to the police station later to show documents and will try to get copies of the statements and send them off to the solicitors. Hire bike company have phoned up, have said they should call back a bit later as not happy riding with an oversized painful thumb at the moment, will aim for later this week.

Looking at my gear, helmet has a few scrapes on it, insurance should cover a new one, High vis jacket is a bit worn in places, rest of the stuff is totally unmarked (bizzare).

Mark, I am sooooo sorry, it's my fault you see.

I was just pondering the thought last night that it has been a while now since we had heard of anyone having an accident. I then wondered how long it would be now the better weather is just around the corner. (not implying here that you are a prime culprit of over exuberance). The very next day I read this.

Hope you get better soon, and hope you have the bike sorted before the good weather gets here.
