today was a sad day, i was stopped at traffic lights in the centre of sydney stopped behind a large semi trailer hauling about 20 tons of rock, before i knew what was happening the truck started to reverse into me....
i tried screaming and sounding my horn but he didnt hear me,,, nor could i move quick enough and slowly my front wheel got swallowed by his back wheel .. i had to bail off the bike,, and ran to the window of the truck bashing on the glass untill he stopped.... when i returned to my bike it was firmly wedged under the rear two wheels of the rig.... flat and dead....... i had ridden this bike from london to nepal in 2004 and was very attached to my ever faithfull old girl.... "sooty" never once broke down the entire time i owned her and will be sadly missed. may she rest in pieces. now i have to convince the insurance company that this bike had been highly modified, and was anything but a standard machine.... i will let you know how i get on..........phil.........(very sad) |
