    Glad to hear you are both alive and kicking, hope the injuries have healed better and it's good to hear the self-reflection and awareness about the factors involved.

    After a decent wack like the one your bike took I wouldn't want it back anyway. Even after repairs they are never the same.

    Good to chat on FB the other evening, Bwana! Have now read the "gory details". Glad all is OK. I trust you had toasted soldiers and a good cuppa with the egg on your shin. :-)
    BTW... please don't tell the KB Management that I'm no longer resident in NZ. Oops! All the best from Blighty.

    Erm, only after said Kenworth had dragged it about 5m across SH2. Most of the damage is due to dragging, rather than crushing.
