well you can scratch my belly when i drop off the trailer

All the best for a quick recovery mate! Lots of beer me thinks! Shame about the bike though. But hey maybe time for an awesome upgrade

Lucky Owen, but it may have been better if you hit it dead centre
You could have taken the shortcut through the back window and punched
fuck out of him
Was he u-turning over a solid white line?
Dumbarse drivers make me sick

Nah mate if i hit him head on i would have ended up a smear on the side of the van, as he was completely across my lane. By the time he saw me and i swerved i clipped the end of the tail and it sent me flying.

It was broken white line and would have been a legal manouver, however he didnt alow enough distance. The thing that shits me more is that there were no cars behind me, so if he waited just a few seconds longer he could have turned around with ease!

damn dude thankgod your ok.

Isnt it weird how your always more relaxed then onlookers when they catch up to you.

hope everything goes well with the insurance.

glad you're ok mate
it is surprising how calm you can be after an accident, I wrapped my car around a tree many years ago (no my fault though) and wasn't even shaking when I got out

Very well done getting out of that so well - sounds like you applied your skills/training better than most ( ).
Glad to hear you're ok.
