Fitted a pair of Auxbeam Motp1 lights, they can be selected as white, white & amber, or amber and flashing in same colours, so 6 modes

Out and about today delivering donated breast milk to neonatal units.

Taken out by a car today on the A5 around Shrewsbury. The car in the left lane on the roundabout at the last second turned right. Left mirror ripped off, most of the faring panels damaged, crash bar pushed into the engine cover, damage to that too, scrap to the rear of the swinging arm around the axle, top box ripped off the rack.

I'm OK apart from a graze on the inside of my knee and a shoulder that is getting sore. Off to the minor Injuries unit now

That’s not good mate, but pleased you’re walking away from it and recover quickly.

Hope there’s some witnesses?

Its good (for the want of a better word ) that you came away with minor injuries, as has been said many times before the bike can be replaced.
Hope that you heal up over the next few days.

Not good @Glenn hope you're OK and you don't have too much messing about with insurance!

@Glenn, Sorry to hear this has happend to you. As said the bike can be replaced, just hope you are ok.

Thanks guys,

I was in the hospital last night as my shoulder got worse. Soft tissue injury to the right shoulder, possible small fracture also.

The video evidence from the Innovv K3 is damning, the car is in the left lane looking like it is going straight on, then suddenly turns right across the dual carriageway entrance as I was preparing to over take when back on the dual carriageway. I have sent this to Carol Nash call handlers.

Yes there was a witness that gave me their details, they even came back to confirm I had then 30 minutes later

Several bikes, cars and lorries stopped and asked if I was OK while waiting for the recovery.

Worth giving White Dalton a call,excellent solicitors .

As it’s likely to be the last sunny day for the foreseeable future I want out for a ride. Sad it wasn’t quite as warm as yesterday but it was dry… mostly… except for the bit where I found that Farmer Giles had dragged about half an acre of wet mud out onto the road.

The end result was about 90 mins of bike cleaning when I got back.

Booked a room at the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel, Barrow 8th June.Summit going on apparently, should be an interesting ride up from Basildon
