Lynx - deffo wasn't his fault, a van U-turned just around a corner near the Oval and he went square into the middle. They immediately accepted liability etc. I don't think his insurance company will give him a better courtesy bike (his is/was a kawasaki Z750) or let him take it on a foreign jaunt so his homework tonight is scouring eBay for secondhand VFRs and such like.
Or we might just borrow my mums car and pootle to the South of France but that would mean our rebooking all the ferries. Sigh.
^^ thanks for the ideas chaps.
