Yowzers , at least he is alive and can walk away from the accident . Don`t dwell on the run of bad luck , grab lady luck by the scruff of the neck and start wringing some out .......... it could have ended in even worse circumstances today Mrs_Giggles .

And Dave ...... glad your ok mate

glad to hear he is ok - especially after all the hassle with getting let down with the first bike.

Nurse him better but don't let him milk it too long

davepreston home got cuts and bruises knee nice blood red.
looked at bike handle bars mangled and speedo gone. back of bike looks ok, tank got dints on each side from being squashed under car, gear leaver end snapped but most in tak. on first inspection forks look straight so it may be able to be salvaged.

Don't dwell on the bike, take your brave soldier for a pint of anaesthetic
