Hi Toby,
What a fantastic response in such a short time.
IMHO everything said here is true in one way or another.
Grant has given some very valuable advice, it doesn't matter whose fault it was, you still hurt the most.
Are you mature enough in your attitude to other road users is what you have to ask yourself.
I had a KH250 many years ago (25 years in fact), I crashed it three times. Chances are if it had been a more powerful machine I'd be dead.
I don't have a bike now, I drive a Discovery, slowly, because that's all they do, go slowly. I also drive like Grant suggests, carefully. I've had lots of near misses through other people's fault, but at least they've been misses.
When we bought the Discovery in 2002 my wife wouldn't even go near an English greenlane in it with me. I should add that she doesn't drive. This December we (the whole family) are off for our third visit to the sand dunes of the Tunisian Sahara. And we all love it.
Kevin.
