    Andy, I hope they sort it out soon. I was knocked off my bike back in 97 and it took about 3 months to resolve everything which was good. The police were involved and they took the driver to court and he was found guilty of driving without due care and attention. He got 5 points, £250 fine and costs. He knocked me off basically as he wanted to queue jump as he was late for his holiday flight! Well, after knocking me off and giving his statement to the police, he certainly missed the flight then! ;D

    As for the theft of my bike, I was in shock for most of the day after it happened and the only way I could get over it was by making fun of it when I was telling people.

    Thanks for the vote of confidance Scott. Sounds exactely like my accident but the drive drove off quite quickly after giving the details and i dealt with the police on the edge of the motorway whilst putting some bits back on the bike.
    Its a paid but one of those things we have to put up with and at least we are still around to learn from it.

    A good iridium (spelling) visor or a similar insert to the one you currently run. My Bro runs one in his Arai is it does a fairly good job but its not the same as a good visor (scott keeps flaunting a nice blue visor that looks trick on Pauls lid but he wants to sell it instead of being a loving brother and give it as a freebie). Ive left my Roof lid at home and the visor on that is quality no problems with the sun. Ive seen some of my customers run strips of insulating tape at the top of their visors but I do not know if it helps at all.

    Had to have the day off to wait for a delivery, they came this morning so I then had to make the difficult decision go back to the office or go for a ride. Guess which won!! ;D Lovely run
