Cages can be usefull sometimes, got rear ended on friday morning by a silly little girl who apparently didnt see a bright orange van with its indicator on minding its own business waiting to turn right!! :smt013 wtf!! still for once i was glad to be in my van and not on my bike heaven knows what the damage to me would have been if it hadnt been for my van. Is a scary thougth what people hitting you from behind can do though :(

yep, I was stopped for a red light on my bladit when I got taken out from behind. Woke up in the middle of the road thinking what did I do wrong. A copper shouting don't try to move and some old git say "I am so sorry"

Wrote the bladit off, his car, fortunately the copper was in the adjacent lane alongside me and saw me flying through the air, Moved his car to defend my position. He estimated the old git to be doing about 60 and was going to go through the light I had stopped for.



BTW my lad has just been award £1,900 for the damages to his back when some dozy girl ran into the back of his van in Wallasey
