Dear WGH,

Glad that you are OK -- though that's really only an assumption, since you didn't discuss your own condition.

Will this cager go to jail for this? It was not an accident, but a criminal act, so they should do time.

And if you get anything short of total compensation plus a pain and suffering penalty, there's something seriously wrong with UK law. I think Serpentza was kidding. Yes, in China someone would polish it up and sell it for new, not even disclosing that it had been in a collision. Take the compensation, and get yourself back on an uncompromised bike.

good luck with the recovery (and litigation)!
