It was just bad luck that a young inexperienced driver carried out an illegal turn which knocked me off the Vespa. It all happened pretty much in slow motion and had I not ended up under the Vespa then no damage of significance would have been done. I have been riding scooters all my life and have not previously had an accident, I am most defensive. This Vespa I have had for nearly 20 years.<br />All best,Beattie's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505389626725979100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622997.post-78783264569052277552013-05-23T02:57:47.213+12:002013-05-23T02:57:47.213+12:00Wow, that sounds like a nasty accident that could ...Wow, that sounds like a nasty accident that could have been even worse.

They are all much appreciated. My repair is going to be a long and slow one but I feel a little better each day and the pain is almost manageable thanks to the cocktail of painkillers I have been prescribed.
