haveugot1 0 Posted April 18, 2014 Hi folks. One bent and bruised (but luckily not broken) Dennis here. Thank you for your messages. Much appreciated. Got hit by an LDV pickup. Claims he had to swerve to avoid a car coming down a slip road to his left. Police not too convinced. Hit me and knocked me in to the Armco barrier and was pinned by the bike. Luckily because of Easter traffic speed was only about 15-20 mph. I actually finished up laid over the barrier. Any faster and I would have cleared it into oncoming traffic.Fortunately got a couple of witnesses who also said he pulled into my lane. One said the rear of the bike lifted about 3ft. What a stoppie! lol According to police bike has sustained cosmetic damage. All the plastics and a broken brake lever. Hope I can get sorted for the TT!!!! Once again thanks everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
