What a blow out, but how did he know your car???
I had a head on nearly 10 yrs ago & can still remember the guys name & address. I swore to pay him a visit one day (was his fault) but by the time i recovered i sort of got over it. Dont know what id do if he came up to me now, mind you, he was a suited up woose and im not so i dont think it will ever happen.
Aaaahhh the joys of custom plates... to easy to remember

I hope that the driver who hit you head on, has given up hitting the piss and driving his weapon on the road.
It's marvelous to see you have recovered as well as you have Bo.
You didn't throw the towel in, it's great to see you riding again.
never fly higher than your angel.

I had a head on in 1978 on a GT380 with my sister on the back (she broke her leg) I got tossed over th bonnet as it was not quite square on, and almost ran over from a car coming the other way. Ended up in a stormwater drain and th prick in the car (a repco ute)(his fault) started abusing me. I told him if I could get up I would punch the shit out of him. And all the tourists dragged him away Off to hospital I went in an ambulance (Only ended up with a fractured ankle and concusion ) Remember it like it was yesterday and all in slow motion
To this day i still hate repco utes

Isn't it amazing how you can remember every detail of the times you fly through the air when propelled from a bike seat!
I can remember three pushbike launches quite clearly and the 3 offs on my first road bike like yesterday.
@BaldyBo. The guy probably felt compelled to see how you are and couldn't resist letting it out of his system I reckon.
He may not have said it, but he probably wanted to say sorry.

Have the same kind of trippy story , although not crash or bike related --- Basically X wife cheated on me ( best thing to happen to me - i have since found a far nicer girl) anyway - 2 years after the event - the guy she cheated with rings me up to apologize to me , and to inform me that she has done the same thing to him ...... was i sympathetic? .... No - what was i thinking ??? "what goes around , comes around "
Crash related ---
Just baught a new commodore ( vs at the time ) had it 2 days - when my x was smashed into by some "p" plater(Lebanese ) took a corner to fast could not stop ran wide and head on into her - he hang around for a while - tow truck was there within 3 min --- tow truck driver asked to see his licence - kid got all sheepish told the guy he will have to race home to go get it as he didn't have it with him ... towie tells him he cant leave the accident scene till cops get there -- he leaves anyway - they get his number plate as he drives off --- ends up the number plate does not match the car at all - so basically we are stuffed and up for the excess for insurance ....
when x gets home she rings her friend to tell her she cant come over as she has been in a crash with a blue skyline ..... friend on phone replies ..... really can you describe the guy ?? -- x describes the guy , friend says -- thats the kid across the road - he just got home - he flew into his driveway - and then put his car in the garage , which he never does, font of his car was all damaged ..... Cops get called , they pin the guy - he was unlicensed - unregistered, uninsured, fake plates - defected vehicle -- and a long list of other shit the cops pined him for .....
Few days later his dad ends up at our place , asking for us to take our new car to his mates backyard repair shop to have it fixed on the cheap , we politely told him to "f" off your son was going to leave us high and dry .. so no favors will be done by us ......
Im sure he is still paying for it today !
