ROFL Ted,

A Kwakka? Had one of them once - wasn't impressed, traded it on a Yammy RZ250 - now even tho it was only 250cc THAT was impressive!! Unfortunately I got a letter from Qld transport the other day saying that number of ccs limitation isn't working as intended so they're bringing in a horsepower limitation as well - no more RZ250s on a RE license.

Anyway, alhough it's been a long time, this is certainly not the 1st time I got whacked by a car while riding a pushie. But this is the 1st time I had any breaks - seems when you get older you get more brittle.

Although a pushie was my preferred mode of transport (and exercise regime) I don't think I'd ever be able to get on the road again in traffic with either a bike or motorbike. On top of "pain and suffering", part of my settlement (that's my only consolation here) will target the added expense needed to buy and run a car for my sole means of transport from now on.
