Carrol and I had a great time at the Bottletree Hotel RTE on the 15th of September 2019
We met Draco and his wife in their car as we were riding along and later we met up with jf3000
After this we headed on to the hotel where we met up with everyone
We had a great lunch and a chat then headed off for home
We were having a great time until at around 14:10...
A ute began to indicate to merge into us so we watched him for a second to make sure he wouldn't run us over only to find the car in front of us was almost at a stop
* A car ahead of this car had braked hard (at the last second) to turn into a driveway resulting in the car in front of us also braking hard So with the short distraction of the ute indicating it's intention to merge into us and the hard braking from the cars ahead we had only a second to brake before impact
The mighty ST hit the car in front throwing Carrol from the bike and me into the screen then onto the ground with the bike.
Thankfully we always have full gear on and as a result only have a few scratches and a lot of bruising, the ST on the other hand has a bit of damage.
Now for the good things
Our gear worked extremely well (I'll list the gear below),
The rear crash bars worked brilliantly in stopping the bike from traping my leg between the bike and the road,
Draco and his wife were there assisting us in about 5 seconds after impact
We were checked out by the Ambos then taken to hospital for x-rays
After we got the all clear (nothing broken, just a lot of bruising) Draco and his wife picked us up and drove us home.
All in all it was a great RTE followed by a unique trip home
