i've crashed too! but i'm just nursing a sore neck

[pilninggas]

Thought i'd let you lot know, was having a bimble on thursday evening. Was in the middle of a three lane roundabout (A38@almondsbury) doing maybe 25mph, when a car changed it's mind about taking and exit and turned from lane 1 to lane 3 and across my path. Coudln't avoid it and hit the side of it. Head-butted the car and went to ground. I think the XJ6 is a write-off (which i'm gutted about as it seemed the perfect all-round machine)

Now very bored at home with a stiff neck - went to hospital yesterday, but they just said it's gonna be painful and to rest.

This is the third time a car has hit me in 2 years, but hey it won't put me off!

Not good Hope you're well and riding again soon.
On the bright side, you get to go bike shopping, and it's a slow time of year for sales so there should be some good deals around

[Davey]

Where do you get that from Ro?? We do the same good deals all year around the price of the bikes doesn't go down to the dealer just cos its quiet (can actually go up if they don't bulk buy) plus its a risky game if dealerships want to go into the annual volume bonus if they don't hit it they're screwed!

Did the car driver admit liability? Get yourself a solicitor - White Dalton advertise in the bike press (and they contribute to a bit inside the back page of Bike each month too)

well he didn't outright admit liability, but he was apologetic and the car following me stopped and gave me her details as a witness. It was poor driving on his part as he was nearly off the roundabout and then completely changed his mind and came right over to the right.

Him, his passenger and the witness were more shaken-up than me. n I tried to ride the bike-away, but noticed within 200 yards it was dropping oil, so called the RAC out.
