took the tiger for a blast round the block then onto the m5 to literaly blow the cobwebs away.
not been able to ride since my car crash but thought stuff it lol. :wheel
just got into the nearside lane to leave at j3 of the m5, when a small van 2 cars in front switches lane without looking.
trouble was there was a very large artic there.
the van slapped into the artic, which almost rolled him. he regained control and they pulled over at the slip road.
glad it wasn't a mad stop though as there was a recovery truck up my chuff that i think would have been wearing me as a mascot. :icon_eek:
trouble was when they collided it sent out a shower of broken head and tail light everywhere. and I rode smack through the middle of it, bits bouncing off my lid and bike grrrrrr :icon_evil:
i didn't stop at the scene as i think there was about to be a puchup and a half lol
when i got home i noticed that the glass had chipped the damn fairing grrrrrr
i wish i had stopped and been a witness for the lorry driver
You could always contact the plod just in case the lordy driver doesn't have a witness
Bet you're glad you had your visor closed.

That's a good idea. Would be a pity if nothing gets done about it for lack of witnesses.
I did , they were not intrested. most lorrys have forward facing cameras these days, I just hope he did.
and yea. really glad my visor was shut...gulp
