Sorry not been on for a while been busy at my new job well the rf is no more has an 81 year old woman pull across my path and I couldn't get her stopped in time I hit her and left the bike now am nursing a compound fracture to my foot/ankle and a lot of sore joint but the bikes a write off at 81 she shouldn't have been riding I wanted to use alot of foul language is the rf wasn't just a bike to me but kept language out as not to offend

Very pleased your here to tell the tale..
So sorry about the bike.
Its difficult because no one wants to be told to hang up their keys but she could have killed you.
should she be prosecuted or just a life ban ?

yeah I really think they should at least have to do some kind of refresher test when they get to 70 or something

another things that boils my blood is that so many oldies have nearly driven into the back of me at junctions 'cause they can barely see over the dashboard

gah!

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

if ever i get cut up on the bike it is oldies or people on there mobiles
