Glad to hear you’re ok and not surprised you’re pissed off ☹️

The best part is that you are not too badly hurt. I do hope you are able to claim and receive something close to your valuation. I keep telling myself to get a camera set up on our cars and perhaps your tale should push me to act.

How shocking. You say he was English, was it a left or right hand drive? Dreadful behaviour trying to leave the scene and not even checking how you were. Glad you are ok.

Right hand drive with his wife/partner acting as spotter. He had been visiting their holiday home according to the rozzers, but is now spending at least the night at 'their place'. I'm in good order, just got back from a ride out on one of my other bikes, just to make sure that I had not lost my bottle.  |

UPDATE
I have just received a notification that the pratt who ran me off the road is to appear at the Tribunal in Limoges on the 14 Feb. Happy Valentines day. It appears that the muppet is also going to be facing charges of being intoxicated, he had apparently had four or five eau de vie followed by a couple of beers. Ironically on the same day, my new bike is ready for collection, also from Limoges, so I may well make a day of it with a decent lunch betwixt the two events.

It seems to me that, occasionally, some holiday-home owners forget that the drink driving limit is lower in France than in the UK. I am not sorry that said 'muppet' might face the consequences of his dangerous driving on that day. |

I am not sorry that said 'muppet' might face the consequences of his dangerous driving on that day I think it is more than that Sue. 4 or 5 shots and a couple of beers is going to be sending you to around 200mg/l so 80 or 50 is pretty immaterial. There is a changed mentality issue while on holiday, I think |

UPDATE 2 Today I picked up my new bike from Limoges, a ROCKET 3 GT Chrome Edition. A few extra's added, including a single seat, no pillions for me.  Shift assist, basically clutch free gear shifting and more. Also today was the reckoning for the dick that ruined the last bike. I did not have a need to attend the Tribunal, so what I know is second-hand/hearsay. Apparently, although the muppet carried a UK licence, it was deemed "not valid" for use in France for a period of two years, six moons in the Grey Bar Hôtel, suspended for two years and a hefty fine, not sure of the amount as I have not yet heard officially from the rozzers, that's a treat for the morrow. |

I hope justice includes some compensation for you.

When you ride a bike the only way to survive is to assume that all other road users are blind and out to kill you.
