Do you know yet whether your newly installed dashcam captured the action?
Pleased to hear you’re raring to go. :+1: :+1:

I am yet to retrieve the flashcard from the bike - that’ll have to wait until I’m somewhat more mobile… :smiley: I’m sure it’s on there though. Fortunately not needed, as the driver of the van assumed full responsability. In case of any problems I’ll have it anyway.
And yep, raring to go - most annoying the weather’s gorgeous here atm…

Ireland isn’t going anywhere, whenever you’re ready we can arrange it again. Was looking forward to your company mate, we will send photos and updates. Main thing is you’ll mend. Good to hear your back at home :+1:t2:

Cheers Andy. I’ll definitely be over at some point in the (hopefully) near future. I too was looking forward to meeting up with you lads again.
I’ve got all the routes, not going to waste them! :smiley:

I’ve no other choice but to join you lads vicariously, which I’ll do happily. Looking forward to pics and reports guys!

Well, the insurance chap assessed the bike, and she’s definitely a write-off. Which means I’ll be getting back what I paid for it a year ago.

Great news Wim. Enjoy purchasing your new bike and getting back on the road soon.

More good news. I had booked 3 ferries for my now cancelled Irish trip, which were all non-refundable. Also the mrs. had to cancel her trip during that period due to my not being too mobile for a while. All my ferries and her hotel will be reimbursed by insurance without any hassle at all.

Well, talk about coincidence - the delivery guy who t-boned me was just at my door delivering some stuff I ordered over the weekend. Upon seeing me opening the door and recognising me alive and (relatively) well he nearly broke down in tears. He kept on apologising, I actually felt sorry for him.

Well, if the ‘close encounter of the second kind’ was THAT emotional and meaningful (to him) maybe there’s a better than evens chance that there won’t be a third one …

Hope the recovery’s going well, Wim, and that you’re well on the road to - well - getting back on the road! :smiley: :ok_hand:

So, two bits of good news. I’m mobile again, tried to drive the car today and that went pretty well. Also, my new Tiger is ready for me to take delivery. Hopefully I’ll manage that late next week sometime, just have to see how the recovery progresses. I’m very much down on meds, so I’m hopeful. I WILL go and drool on it tomorrow! :smiley:
