Can I try and steer this thread back to Redeye?
That was a very emotive piece of writing. I'm glad you were not as seriously hurt as you first feared. It is a very sobering thought how vulnerable we all are. Firstly I wish you a speedy recovery including a psychological recovery to let you ride again as much as you used to enjoy it. Secondly I wish you well with you claim against the driver in order to replace your machinery and compensate you. And leave you with a thought that we are responsible for our own safety - it's no good being in the right. |

Jesus man.
That is a pretty rough sounding off. Yeah. Just read it again. Rough doesnt really cover it. Dont really know what to say. At least the plod seem to know what the story is, and are after lorry driver guy. You will pick up another bike, wont be the same, but as options go, from the above story, that sounds like one of the better ones. Have a nice few days off work, and feel better mate ... ![]() |

Man that sounds like a lucky escape and a reason to reflect on life. A low loader would be the worst thing to hit - so many hard bits and nothing would dent - I shivered when I read that

![]() ![]() Glad your injuries aren't too bad, sounds like a lucky escape. It's a shame about the bike but what you've been told is right, it is just a machine. You'll have good memories with what ever you replace it with as well. GWS.

RedEye,
I am so pleased you got away with it OK, you sound like you did everything you could and that probably saved your life (or at least reduced your injuries). Get well soon. Quote:
Silly me, he didnt do it on purpose, just like he didnt drive with undue care and attention on purpose, and just because it was not deliberate it gives some sort of excuse? If (God forbid) RedEye had died then that is manslaughter in my book - no excuse for that at all especially when the culprit was quite clearly guilty of inattention at the very least..... Dicky **** head....... |

Redeye.
Glad to hear the outcome wasn't as bad as it could have been. Here's hoping the pain and injuries heal up real soon for you. Also that the unlit wagon driver learns the error of his ways and feels some remorse. Cheers, Garry ![]() |

Wow, great escape there! I'm glad you're ok.
You do have to be careful of vans et al, they drive with a different road priority mentally I think. They're at work and they're just toddling round. I had one pull right across my path and he didn't even look sideways once, when I beeped him he just smiled and waved like I was an old mate. |

Blimey.That was a close one.Good for you for (almost) walking away.
Now get yourself a bike specialist lawyer and take lorry driver to the cleaners.
