Pan may be dead...

First topic message reminder :

Got knocked off yesterday morning on the way into work, long story short a big van decided to suddenly stop in the road and start reversing as he's missed his turning. I beeped (as that was all I could do) but he kept coming (even after he'd hit me) and started to mount the pan, at which point I dived out of the way.

I escaped without injury but the pan is likely to be a total loss, mostly because it's 20 years old. Just waiting for an engineer to come out and assess the damage. Now waiting in anticipation for the courtesy bike to turn up (don't know what I'm getting yet, but odly excited about it).

The chap quickly admitted liability and there were plenty of witnesses, so fingers crossed the claim will go through quickly. If it's written off I shall be looking at getting something a bit lighter and more economical and will probably break the pan, or repair it and sell it, who knows!

At least you got a prize!!!

Apparently they are not so forthcoming with the prizes judging by what has been said on their facebook page, put it this way they've not been in touch with me to get my address??? I have chased them and someone is "looking at it but it's deadline time so may have a little wait".

I'll let you know if anything materialises.
