I had a close encounter with a car today:(

"Sorry mate, I didn't see you"- I hoped it's never gonna happen to myself. Well, I was wrong :(
On my way from work a cager decided to rear-end me. Cannot remember what exactly happened, witnesses say I bounced of the bonnet and landed on my back. My Shoei helmet, HG jacket and pants did incredible job though, except sore back and neck I am fine :D

These wheels are tough, btw :shock:

Glad you are OK - something no one wants to go through.

Always bad to see that. Glad you are OK. As you seem to be in the UK expect to get earache as you will have plenty of calls offering to handle compensation claims.

Get em sued! Good to see you walked away. Mate of mine has just got his Guzzi back after being tail ended by some idiot while slowing down at a roundabout. She is still claiming that he magically appeared in front of her from nowhere.
