The car had overcooked the bend coming the other way. When I past him he was a foot over the white line and I only just got my shoulder out of the way.

Glad your ok though wolfie. I have never been happier to see you pop out if a ditch smiling. When I saw it in the mirror I was nearly sick.

Glad your still with us TLW, hope you heal soon, the insurance pay out quickly and the bike is easy enough to rebuild for the track.

Regards

GWS chap, hope the bike is salvageable and your back on the road sooner rather than later

Omg hahah that made my day cheers


For some reason my head still thinks those forks are bent... take a straight edge and just check..

I agree with the general consensus, think about moving on and replacing it.

fook me, when I read you'd 'binned it', I didn't expect it to be against a 'bin sign', most spectacular effort at using it for a spring board
Sorry for your poor bike, it looks trashed after seeing the pics further in the thread, I'd say insurers have written off a bike for less damage.
Poor you, but very lucky indeed. SORRY for not reading yesterday, but I've been working
