Harrowing tale snipped. Wow. Thanks Ace, you've helped me make up my mind to sell my bike. Wife and kids very pleased. Surely you were already aware that accidents on motorcycles can result in serious injury and even death? What difference does this new one make to your decision? -- Champ ZX10R GPz750turbo My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle |

Yupp. After 30 years of "It'll never happen to me" I've become aware of just how easy it can be. Or possible, just how lucky I've been to get away with it for so long. and as porl pointed out, a little ironic to happen the day after you made your "I ride on the road as if it were a racetrack" comment... Don't think I'm not aware of the irony. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

If you're not that bothered, I'll have it off you for a tenner, and I'll even collect. -- Lozzo Triumph Daytona 955i SE (Black with added black bits) GSF600SW (broked) |
