a very lucky, or unlucky (depending how you see it) today. I was at our road end waiting to pull onto the main A65 and see the bike 200 + yards off, so I stop 10 yards short of the give way line, bike comes round a sweeping right hand bend and gets a tank slapper on and loses control 30 or so yards from me, both biker and bike hit me with the biker ending up under the side step of my pick up, the bike hits my front wheel, wing and the front of my pick-up. Nothing worse than opening my door and not knowing what I was gonna find, biker was unconcsious at first but breathing (I checked whilst dialling emergency 999), police and ambulance seemed to take an eternity to arrive, luckily there was plenty of witnesses that stopped and helped with the traffic etc and giving statements to police. Biker seemed compas mentis when they took him off to hospital in ambulance. Not too sure about my pick-up though.
