Mr Fro Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'll raise you a nobhead running a set of lights and knocking me off on the way back from an MOT (which it passed) a few days after my 21st. I only spent a few hours in hospital but the bike was a write off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
