That should qualify for 'Doh', 'Roadside Recovery' and a possible 'Fire Engine', Paul.
What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

I hope you get triple points for that photo in the ILOC challenge. Maybe even more than triple.

It is much more dramatic than a pic of a Morrie.
There was a fire engine in action. I couldn't take a photo because of all the people around me.
Paul
I was about to exit the roundabout when a car came in, not slowing enough. It must have hit the bike 3/4 rear. I didn't see it coming as I'd passed the entry where I did see the car coming but before the roundabout.

Alive is a good start. Horrible photo. Blindsided.

Just catching up to the bad news now. Better the bike than you that gets written off. Hope you heal fast and well.

My 74 triple caught fire when a car changed lanes and knocked it over, luckily the driver had a fire extinguisher in his car. Had a couple of scrapes when I was young, but I think something like that would mean the end the end of my driving days now. Hope you get better soon. A bike can be replaced - you can't.
It's a shame you were not driving a fully-loaded concrete truck. We get these aggressive roundabout chargers as well. Shut their eyes and with no hesitation blast through.

So much for roundabouts being safer. All bets off if IQ is low enough. Glad you will see some more rides.

Very bad-sad news Paul, the good news is you were not under the bike. I hope you have an easy speedy recovery, follow the Doctor's orders, yes.
The photo is my Z1A from many years ago, I was lucky and walked away from that one. The feeling of watching your bike burn is indescribable.

Sad news Paul but count your lucky stars, could have been worse but still doesn't remove the pain of losing a loved bike.

PS: while looking at the burning bike picture I thought, fuck he was lucky he didn’t get zapped by the fallen powerlines.
Showed my wife and she said I should put my glasses on, your phone screen is cracked.

Bloody terrible thing Paul. Good thing you were thrown clear.
