    Biker down. Balclutha. 4 January

    Went to a bike vs car today in the main street of Riviera of the South.

    T'was a blind old lady who ploughed her car into a Boss Hoss.

    'Ol Blu got a sore leg where the end of the handle-bar hit his leg, a bit of chrome flaked off and he got a pie-sized ding in his petrol tank and a bit of paint got flaked off too - oh, and his gear-shifter mount got knocked around a bit.

    But he and his mrs got out of it not too bad and after a bit of help from SD and others he headed off north again.

    Just watch out for old Dutch ladies in Jap cars - they don't have the best of eyes.

    Tell Miss Daisy she should get someone to drive her to keep the rest of us safer.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
