Just getting me lid on next to the bike & a Fire Engine flashes past all blues n twos heading the way I'm gonna be going...Hmmm.
Ride off not far down the road is a Fire Person with a sign closing the left lane. I stopped & he came over to me & tells me the road is closed due to an oil spill & a Biker has come off...
Says I can ride down the queue but watch for the oil.So I bimble down the que of cars & find said FE parked across & blocking the road.
Another guy is there on a suzuki so I stops gets off & goes to talk to him... The fire persons are puttin bloody sand down on the oil spill... Down the road is an abulance & two bill cars...
Another fire person comes up to the tender to put his broom away & comes over to us...Just watch the oil when you go lads one bike has already been off.
Then one of the bill cars reverses up towards us & starts putting signs & cones out to block the left lane.
A third bike has joined us by now...after a bit of faffing about the bill man comes over to us & says wont be long now guys but when you go stay to the right to avoid the sand & oil... I says hows the guy who came off...Oh he has facial injuries he was wearing an open face lid...DOH !
I asked if we could just pull infront of the truck that was at the head of the que & bill said yes...couple of mins later he drives off & waves us off...
Bimbled past the sand & just in front of the ambulance on it side stand is some factory chopper type bike didnt look to bad damage wise but didnt see what make.
Later on I see a bike broken down on the opposite carrige way by the central res...guy was tinkering but know way for me to stop or to help...
Next roundabout...a van & a big commuta scooter were exchanging details, again couldnt see any damage but the scoot was facing the wrong way...
So I made it home, put the bike away, gets me kit off puts the kettle on sits down with a coffee & a smoke...The phone rings...
Vanstub calling from A&E....
Tells me he has stuck his Storm into some trees after being a bit fast into a bend & missing the braking point & then choosing the trees over a head on...!
No major injuries just a few bumbs & bruises...Totaled left faring, screen & clip on & a few other bits...he's popping over to see Frank on Thursday.

How the hell do you lose a trailer ?
If the bloke don't pull trough I hope the cager gets charged with manslaughter...
The tree's may sue you though if the council get word of it.
