Hello stranger, good to hear from you.

I'm going to ask. Why did you pick a fight with a tractor?

And what bike are you looking to get to add to Beemer?

I had stopped a way back from it on a lane to let a truck through, he reversed and kept going not having seen me, hit me with his hedge trimming device, and pushed me backwards for 10 feet before i then hit the ground and it pushed me further. luckily the truck driver sae what was happening and sounded his horn. knackered muscles in my knee, shoulder and wrist down the left hand side. poor chap was distraught yet no one killed.

Ah man, which bike indeed, i'm keeping my eye out for another 1098S as i loved that analogue bike, yet having just bought a new ST-2, it may have to wait this year. Saying that the RSV4 is still on my wish list.
