Thanks Mr. Yaris, it's not even my 675....

[McJamweasel]

Yup, it's happened.

Out on a test ride on a 675 this afternoon and a tool in a Yaris decided to pull a U-tun from a layby on the left, straight in front of me. He pulled out a little and stopped, as if he was moving to see what was coming, I'd rolled off the gas as soon as I saw him go but I assumed that he'd seen me. As soon as he started moving again I hit the horn and the brakes but just couldn't quite stop in time. Bang. I went over the bars and down the bonnet, landing just in front of the car.

I've left a nice big dent in the drivers door and a few bits of plastic on the road but the bikes not too bad on the whole - just plastics from what I could tell. I'm fine, just achey and stiff. From the damage to the bike and the fact that I didn't go over the car I can only assume that I was almost stopped when I hit (the brakes on a 675 are bloody good, and the back wheel was in the air somewhere).

I'm not sure who I feel most sorry for, the bloke whose bike it is or the bloke who has to tell the bloke whose bike it is!

So, you crashed, who's telling the guy who own's it? Unlucky, It's a b1tch, but at least you walked away, and he might look next time for a bike pics of it?

Glad you're ok Colin and I wouldn't worry, Jay12329 will read it on here before you see him.

[McJamweasel]

Nothing for me to pay, it's all on works/the drivers insurance. I've spoken to one of my colleagues this evening and he's going to call the owner first thing.

No photos yet, but there will be some.

I know how you feel now, in the last 3 days I've had 4 near off's city centre riding, due to cars not looking/signaling first. If you don't look for it, you can be easily be caught out

Near happened to me a few time, cars peeping out of juntions half on road and then missing you coming, not hit anything yet lucky enough.

Glad your ok, could have been worse if you where going faster and didnt see him.

Did the driver say anything ?
