Been hit in the throat by a bee at '70 miles an hour officer' without any neck protection. I thought it had ripped my adam's apple out. Never ride anywhere without some kind of neck protector since then.

What he said. You need

In the words of the Spitfire commentator: F**k Me. That is one lucky man

Basingstoke council have started resurfacing some of the roads in and around the town. One of them is a road I have to take to work every morning. Going along this stretch of road this morning doing bugger all mph cos the road's covered with 'loose shit', along with all the other rush hour traffic, a bastard in a white van comes along overtaking everyone at 60mph shot blasting all the other traffic with said loose shit. Got to work and just about to put the lock on the Beast when I noticed a chip in the tank paintwork that I only sprayed two weeks ago. If I could have got my hands on him I'd be doing time now. Plain white van so no company to complain to and I didn't get his number plate. Utter Utter Utter Utter Bastard.

Someone had to lower the tone

My first insurance was with eBike. They messed me about so much after some a-hole ran me off the road and didn't stop (basically said that as the car didn't acually hit me just ran me off the road, that I'd caused the damage myself by leaving the road voluntarily) that I went with Carole Nash. Been with them ever since and don't see any reason to change.
