8:30am Wed 6th April06 on the way to work, minding my own business, 20-25mph, no traffic behind or in front, Lady in a Peugeot 206 oncoming decides to take a right directly in my Path. With 10 yards to spare I apply enough braking pressure to cause a 2 wheel 5 yard skid, too little too late, I impact her side. Bike stops dead and picture this, I am catapulted into the air initiating a complete 360 and land on the other side of the 3rd parties car ON MY FEET. I never kissed the tarmac. The witness directly behind the Peugeot couldn’t believe; her pulling out; the 6ft 4in acrobat doing a 360 not 20 feet in front and landing right side up.
Graced A&E for 4plus hours - nothing broken just whiplash to neck and back otherwise No problems. Bike and Car worse for wear.
Police took a statement from 3rd party saying it was her fault, my witness (biker in a van) heard the same at the scene.
Bike beyond economical repair etc etc.
Take it EZ out there…
Regards, Peter.
