Re: another one bites the dust

Chickenken,

Sorry to hear of your bad luck m8, bloody car drivers should be made to ride a bike before being able to touch a car, then they would appreciate some decent road and driving skills

I think that if you have had to ride when none of us could afford a car then you certainly read the road surfaces and watch other traffic a lot more closely.

Hope that you get well soon and back out there

I hope that she is paying you well for this loss of work, damage to bike etc

Re: another one bites the dust

Hope you get sorted soon!
Dont know where you are in region 1,but up on this island you can be lulled into a false sense of security with the quiet roads and stuff

Up here they just seem to drift out out on you,but the attitude up here would be "I've been pulling out here for years,and there's never been a bike there before"
It's interesting when there is a frost,it appears if you clear a 4inch square on the screen they will still have all round vision

Take care out there
