    Hope your friend's injuries heal well & the driver's insurance coughs up hassle free.
    I assume the police were involved & got any witnesses reports.

    Crikey - this isn't too good, I've read too many biker down posts at the moment, may have to take some time off from riding the forum!

    Hope hes well and won't be too long before hes back on the road riding again

    Good luck getting the bike back together, or is it now a unicycle.... juan juan!

    Bad news. Commisserations and hope he's not too sore. Yep, the car driver clearly didn't look properly but wonder if your mate had his lights on? A lot of bikers still ride with them off in daylight.

    Glad to hear your mate's ok, although he's going to be sore later.

    How the hell did the bike break in two? That's suggests a pretty big hit, either speedwise or anglewise (Well that doesn't make a lot of sense).
