Well, look on the bright side - at least you won't have to go to the bother of replacing that nearside front wing. :wink:

It looks like you bent your Touring more than E30BeemerLad's:

On a serious note, good to hear that you are OK. :)

A lucky escape indeed. Let's hope the insurance sorts you out.
Sorry to hear of your loss, but I'm glad it wasn't worse :mad:

Thank you. Yes it could have been much worse, so I am happy I walked away healthy. If anyone sees a touring for sale (over pounds 2500) let me know. I need this for the insurance evaluation 8O

I don't know how you manage all that and have enough left over for a huge impact on a street with speed bumps.

I'm still very much alive, thankfully. In the mother of all lucky escapes, I apparently walked to the ambulance myself.
I don't remember that part though.
