I know what you mean. Keep replaying the accident in my head over and over, thinking 'was I at fault'. 'could I have done something different'. As you say the conclusion comes out the same each time. Just bad luck.
Thanks for your comments.

Volvos.......... BMWs...............Mercs.............Audis........ ...White Vans......... Give 'em all a wide berth

It's the time of year. Warm weather brings about a proportionate increase is the height of girls' hem-lines. Attention therefore diverted......

At least I got an apology from the bloke who pulled out on me yesterday

I felt like that after my accident that left me with both arms in plaster but after seeing my flatmate at the time really badly break his leg playing foot ball a few months later I decided that you are never truly safe no matter what you do and that I enjoyed biking too much to knock it on the head.

One question, what are R&G's

My crystal ball tells me that the Volvo driver will get off with less than most bikers would get for riding at over 100mph on an almost deserted road.

But then you all knew that already

Crash bungs/protectors/mushrooms etc. Stick out the side of the bike to save the fairings(and legs/feet). R&G are the brand name. Hope that helps. Recommend you get some, really.....

Sue the driver personally for the accident and the driving off cos the courts are unlikely to award suitable penalties.Take him to the cleaners.
And give a big drink to the person who got his number.You owe them one.
