Very sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon and that the insurance pays out for fixing the bike. Out here where I am in mid Wales we only see Taxis in the towns and their driving is genrally fine. This time of year we do have to watch out for tractors and haymaking kit which can do odd seeming things like indicate left, drive over to the right then pull accross into field gates you cannot even see etc.

Hey Piki sad to hear that  :(

I ride in London and I must say black cab drivers are pretty good. May be their attitude not so much. They think they're always right  :P Addison Lee are crazy though  :-\

After a spill bruises come out everywhere but at least you are on the mend and hopefully the 550 will be too...

Best wishes

Hi Piki,

Honestly, who cares about the bike, so long as you've still got 2 legs / 2 arms /  your senses etc there's nothing left to worry about.

So, glad you appear to be basically ok, & wishing you a fast recovery.

Simon.

Hi Piki,

Main thing you were not seriously hurt, bikes can be repaired.
Hope you caused a nice lot of damage to his taxi.

All the best

best wishes Piki,

   in the UK,you have to watch for Bus drivers,mini cab drivers,Volvo drivers.and large 4X4 (chelsea tractors),not to mention
BMW drivers in towns

  hope you recover soon,and both you and the bike have no lasting damage
