Looked like it was just plastic and the rear end, so probably repairable. But I don't really GAF, to be perfectly honest. If you're not that bothered, I'll have it off you for a tenner, and I'll even collect. OK, you just arrange it all with the insurance. As long as they pay me market rate you're welcome to it. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

Thanks for the full story. It brings to mind those slow-mo videos from
Superbike racing but with the road furniture and the possibility of oncoming traffic. Congratulations on surviving to tell the tale. Hope to see you back on the slopes in the Spring. GWS Warrell |

So, I'm barrelling along a lovely country road on my way to work - long straight followed by tight right-hander, so lots of beans being applied. This is a nice road and I'm enjoying the ride in, but somehow I get sucked into it. Mistake #1. snip You lucky lucky ****er. Couldn't agree more. GWS Likewise. |
