I wonder if the farmer was sent a bill for the damage to the bike/rider Rolling Eyes .

"flung from his black Honda Fireblade motorbike which burst into flames" That's pretty cool considering he hit a sheep. Cool

Roast lamb?

Perhaps he could counter claim for lack of signage, or that the firebrigade didn't put the fire out quick enough.

If he got charged for the sheep I would want it on my plate.

Just give the bill to the insurance company (if he's claiming). Let them deal with it. (They'd laugh like hell I imagine).

Yes he will have been charged for the Sheep. And if it was a sheep rather than a lamb I wouldn't want to eat it in anything other than a pie!

Sheep are funny little creatures, why stay in your nice big green field when you can crawl through a hedge to get out?! Rolling Eyes

If the road was open land like moor or what ever they are called in Scotland he certainly would be liable for the sheep, just as if he'd smashed into a parked vehicle (and why not?)
A breeding sheep would be worth around £100.

Bit more tricky if the sheep had escaped onto highway through a poorly maintained fence, although that wouldn't be likely to make the farmer liable for accident.

Farmers get more money from the goverment for a run over sheep then they do selling them. That's why they don't fix the fences. (Used to be the case anyway). I'm not sure what happens with open grazing.

They may get more money than selling it, but not more money than selling its offspring!

I think it may have been lambs rather than sheep. Smile

Aberdeenshire council sent him their invoice to cover the cost of repairing the road surface


Did anyone read the page.....

He has not been billed for the sheep....

"I didn't know there was going to be a stray sheep on the road," he said. "The accident wasn't my fault."



So he was going too fast to stop when something appeared in front of him then....
Its a unclassified road in the country as such, you should always expect to see animals on them.

He maybe a biker but this is clearly a case of...
