I have just spent a few hours in A&E Guéret after an English SMIDSY took me out. He was entering the A20 at jcn 23.1. I could clearly see his wife/partner/passenger mouthing an alarm, but he knew better. I, and the bike, bounced off the central barrier, I was left there but the bike continued back into lane one and was flattened by one of Jacky Peronnet's finest. I'm alright, although I am need of a new set of leathers, the Rocket 3 TFC, though is complete scrap and probably is not replaceable as it was a special edition.

It’s good to hear that you’re OK, no surprise at how you feel, most would be a shaking wreck!

Ouch! You dodged a bullet there. Did he stop? Yes and no. We were returning from a club run so several of the boys forced him to stop some 500 metres or so up the road to await the arrival of the rozzers. He was taken away by the bill and his car was towed to wherever.

I'm fine, just really pissed off. Very pleased to hear you are fine .. horrified to hear about your bike and even more horrified to read that the culprit didn't even stop .. thank goodness your mates were there to detain him. Let's hope the culprit has the book thrown at him.

I think the lucky one was the prat who ran me off the road, my travelling companions are not known for their good behaviour concerning errant drivers. I have the whole incident on vid as do at least seven other riders, evidence is not in short supply. A.F.F.A
