Why my Benelli is deceased!
:blah: I was riding her on a nice sunny day on 15th October 2006, stopped at a set of lights, they went green and I pulled away, you can guess what happend next!------------------------ Car turns right with no indictaion and I end up over the bars shattering my femur in 26 places at the hip, 2 broken ribs, hematoma of the abdomen, internal brusing, lacerated right arm and general unwellness! I was wearing full leathers with additional back protector, decent boots, gloves & crash helmet.
My beloved Benelli ends up over the top of the bonnet (hood) and falls onto the road suffering damaged to the front end, both sides and sub frame. All this at an estimated (witness's words) of less that 20mph!
I still have a load of metalwork in my leg and I am still in pain but this will not put me off riding my new toy. Compensation permitting I will get another Benelli in the future as they are great.
Keep sunny side up guys & girls!
