mark asked me to pass on his thanx for all of the well wishes and from me too. superman thought he was ok this morning not really aching until he'd been up about 10 mins then it kicked in but all things considered he's up n about but sore n achey. other driver who is in his 80's has admitted fault mark already talking of bike shopping this week looks like bike is a right off, went to see it today. oh n Pete marks avoiding the kawak shops!!

I still have no sympathy for the driver and he's still a feckin w****r. I really do hope the authorities take him off the road.
Mark sorry to hear about your misfortune and hope you feel better very soon. It is unfortunate your bike was damaged but it can be replaced. From what I gather you are irreplaceable.
I don't think we should necessarily be putting the blame on the drivers age. It's more about the drivers ability and awareness of other road users. OK the drivers age is no excuse and he needs to be re-assessed for all our sakes.
Sorry for a partial highjack of thread.
Please substitute for suitable swear words mark and i have a cbr400 taxed and mot'd just needs new screen and mirror if u fancy borrowing one in the meantime love
Hope u feel better soon hun but PHEW TFFT ur ok :-)
And dawn massive hugs for u love because i have a sneaking suspicion u probably had a massive heart attack just watching and not being able to do anything
Huge hugs all round guys and see u soon to give u proper hugs xx
Ouch and Ouch and Ouch,
But glad to here you checked ont he bike first
As long as you can walk away from it then everything will be alright the rest is just paint and dents.
Hope your ok take it easy but dont sit still for to long or you go stiff,
No not like that you bunch of pervs he has just had an accident tut tut
again on behalf of mark thanx guys. wasn't stating accident due to age just the fact that he's 88 could make a difference ie ability to look round movement, vision, response etc could just as much have been an 18yr old.but that aside police said he will have to do driver awareness course n pass if he refuses will be charged with dangerous driving. marks now my pilly but in the car form apparently we are off bike hunting tomoz possibly starting at the triumph dealers!! so believe me cavywavy mark not guna cease up he never still long enough have to keep following him stop him doin stuff lol take care everyone x
So glad Mark is on the mend, big hugs to you hon xx
Re TC's post ...36.9 million drivers on the road and 5 million are over 70 (i don't class 60 as old any more lol) ... 122 still drive at over 100, scary!
CF75; I know what yu were sayin and I wasn't havin a go at yu ;) It just grips me that these people can drive vehicles unrestricted to cause havoc on our roads. I was nearly a victim of an octogenarian
+ last year.
