    I was in a hospital bed feeling a tad sore and sorry for myself after getting an overtake wrong. To this day I don't know exactly what happened but I do know I am lucky to be alive. A lot has changed in my life since then but the knowledge of how close I probably came to headbutting a windscreen has remained,

    Ride safe people.

    RIP my 1st bike :(

    Glad you made it dude and nice to know you are still " on it" ! I think its better to see the bike in bits than a rider lying in hospital showing mangled legs .;)
