Re: T-Boned a car this past Tues :(...
You are one lucky guy. Read your story and unfortunately relate to this all to well. Mine was 18 years ago, 102bhp of tire shreadding beast going way to fast and ploughing into a car (who decided to do an illegal u turn in front of me) which such force that the car rolled onto its roof. Made for an awesome photo in the paper. But it taught me a valuable lesson, its the stopping that counts and yes it matures you really quickly and teaches you how precious life is. I still enjoy riding all these years latter, just with a bit more repect to the laws of gravity and motion, and the realization that when you are on a bike it dosn't matter who is right or wrong, the bike and rider will allways come of second best.

Baggh Glad your ok occasionally we all need the so called wake up moment, i to am way to intolerant of other road users at times and ride like a looney.
I am so glad your ok with just bruising and minor scuffs and scrapes and metal can be fixed. Ride safe

Thanx for the post Baggh and I'm glad you're ok.
I'm guilty of the same thing, being impatient. Next time I'm behind a slow cage I'll think about your post and I'll be a lil smarter and lil more patient. ride safe |

Baggh glad you are ok and doing well. I find that when I'm on the road I don't worry about slow cars in front of me I just ride on and enjoy the ridding. Hope you get your bike back soon and mark it down as a lesson learned.
