Mr LPH down
 

Only a week after buying his XJR Stu got knocked off today at the notorious Army and Navy roundabout. A van driver entered in the right hand lane then promptly took the next exit to the left. He cut across 2 lanes taking Stu out on the way. Stu's head smashed his passenger window, which shows he didn't check his mirror. He told the police Stu had hit gravel and slid into him, which was complete rubbish. Fair bit of damage to the bike, luckily Stu had all the gear on so a cut knee, sore shoulder and a broken heart.

Glad Stu is mostly OK and you won't be getting his-n-hers titanium elbow sliders.

I hope there were plenty of witnesses and some of them bothered to stop.

Oh gutted mate xx

Hope this has a happy ending in the sense that it won't cost him the time and money to repair it?

There was a witness. A policeman. He said it was 50 50 but then he didn't see the van driver enter the roundabout already in the wrong lane.

At least he's not badly hurt, which is the main thing. Unless you wanted a pair of matching elbows :rolleyes:

GWS, both of you

ouch, not good. hope Stu's ok, sending warm vibes.

I remember my first driving lesson (in September 1985!) - I asked my instructor not to make me go round the A&N. And on my second lesson, it wasn't until he directed me off the slip road at Sandon that I realised where I was heading... Those were the days before the stupid 'timeshare' flyover and the A12 bypass.
