   Hi, yup, done it again

Had my first crash on the bike for 14 years in sept, now,tonight had my first ever crash in the car

My fault, overtaking a lorry,got to the point of no return and a car appeared coming towards me, dived in front of the lorry and the back end slid out a bit,i corrected-too much,and it got into a ' swing' went side to side about four times before going totally sideways,which sent me into a spin and into the hedgerow

Thing is, i was going a bit! guessing about 70 odd, so ended up going head over heals about two times and landed in the field about 100 yds from the road! 

Upsidedown!

Release seatbelt- plop! onto broken glass, drag myself out the bit that was the front windscreen and i'm faced with shocked people running towards me.

I keep telling them i'm ok and eventually convince them not to call an ambulance. Turn found and see what is left of my XR2i( oh yes!)

My, what a mess!

I got away with a high speed one again. This time lots of little cuts, my hand was very red! just battered really.Went back with my mate to get stuff and managed to find nearly everything-result.

The irony is, i use the bike all the time, i had a call from my boss today asking me to do a little job for a day or two, so i went home on the bike to get the car to carry my tools ect. I thought cars were safer than bikes?

Here's a pic of two, not good though.

So, who's up for a rideout with me?
