Current Projects chat and miscellany

yeah I'm in 1 piece. Joints hurt yesterday but lots of vodka solved that. His fault entirely, I was passing on the right as he was in stationary traffic then when I was almost level with the cab, he turned right without indicating or looking. All I could do is shout fuck and turn sideways to save the bike before hitting the side of the cab and landing a massive puddle. He got straight out and helped me up and was really apologetic and genuinely worried I wasn't hurt, offered up all his details and gave me his wifes phone number so I could sort out money. I'm glad the parts that needed replacing weren't expensive as I fear it might not as been so easy to get £140 for the stem instead of the £40 it currently is in the sale or £150 for the forks, £150 for the wheel etc.
Just received the check from him today so its all good.

Cripes mate, sounds nasty. Hope yr ok. It helps when people react like human beings and are genuinely worried about you. Makes you less inclined to want to take them to the courts. Heal up soon.
