Would like to say thanks...
....to the chap on the chopper who stopped after my off tonight, was the only person to stop in an hour before pod turned up!
Long story short, hit a stray dog on the 60mph straight between rode and southwick on my commute tonight... sadly the dog died :'(
Anybody who thinks that proper bike trousers and Jacket are superfluous... Take it from me, they aint! 'Dero is dmaged, until I get an expert I cant say how much, definitely a bent brake pedal and busted mirror stalk... Was too dark to see any more damage. She starts okay, but the chain came off so not sure if it stretched! Only damage to me is a wrenched left knee (XL125 is a heavy old lump to fall on you!) and a bit of general shock related stiffness)
All in all, I feel very very very very lucky right now.
SO, yeah, I don;t know who you were, or if you're a WB member, but thanks! :)

Sorry to hear you had an off mate, fair play to the guy who stopped tho.

Wow, the textiles did their job.
Glad you're ok.
Re: Would like to say thanks...
Nasty. Out of interest was the dog brown/tan in colour? I know the kiddy who owns it if you'd like a word about his dog being loose by a main road.
Re: Would like to say thanks...
yeah it was! But the lady who claimed the body came from Bradley Road, said she lent him out to a mate who "went out shooting"....
Re: Would like to say thanks...
Yea that was his mum. Idiot. Still, not nice for you. Hope the knees just bruised. Wishing you a Speedy recovery!
Re: Would like to say thanks...
Cheers dude! Am hoping the bike isnt too expensive a repair too...
