Please Think Bike

Another great start to 2008!

I have was involved in an “accident” at the end of January on my way to work. I was performing an overtaking manoeuvre, legally when the driver of the 4×4 decided to turn right into a driveway.

This action taking me out with an impact of 50pm. I have now returned home after a two week stint in hospital and a further 6-8 weeks off work. My injuries are mainly internal and I was millimeters from major surgery and death.

Thank God for leather and Kevlar! Since I came home I have found out that my leathers were completely cut off me at the scene, my lid is ruined and my beloved SP2 is well and truly destroyed.

I ride with my head light on and my helmet is bright yellow – a Troy Corser rep.

What do we have to do to make people “THINK BIKE?” I have had an okay offer to replace my SP2 but I won’t be able to find one for the money, now I will have to spend months trying to recuperate costs for my leathers and lid and I will miss the start of the BSB season as my injuries make it difficult for me to get about.

Thank you Mr 4×4, and please spread the word to Think Bike. I’m sure your dent is repaired now and your conscience is clear.
