The aftermath. Apart from the rear panel and a couple of bits, I hope the frame and chassis have not suffered. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/oIulXUp.png)

Sorry to read that - but glad you're OK. Fingers crossed the blow was absorbed by the bumperettes and respective mounts and no chassis damage.

Thank you. After nine hours on the road I could not tell the difference between Driver's Neck and Whiplash, and I do not want to join the ranks of fraudsters claiming for it.

M3W55, so sorry to read about your accident, hope it doesn't take the shine off your holiday. I have stayed at 'O'Semofore a couple of times it is a truly unique place to stay especially at night when all the tourists have to leave the site.

Just 50 miles from Fisterra to Santiago today and no photos with a Morgan in them, so that's it.

We had a near miss yesterday in Ballock on Loch Lomond. I stopped at a crossing on a rec light. An idiot reversed out from a parking space. I sounded the horn. He touched the front wheel. Luckily his soft bumper absorbed the force ( luckily very light) and the front wing was untouched. “I didn’t see you”.  His rear sensors need looking at. If I wasn’t there he could easily have reversed into people crossing. Anyway, no damage and a good day today between some heavy showers. Down Loch Long past Faslane then looped round to Inveraray. Castle closed so  but did the jail tour. A film company were filming a Netflix series scenes so some minor disruption. Waiting to see tomorrow’s weather for a route.

.....“I didn’t see you”...... The difference between "see" and "look". Discuss.

Thank you. After nine hours on the road I could not tell the difference between Driver's Neck and Whiplash, and I do not want to join the ranks of fraudsters claiming for it. Sorry to hear of your bump, looking at your n/s tailpipe which looks straight and undisturbed, as it hangs off a chassis rear bracket then hopefully the chassis has escaped any damage

Every motorcyclist’s dread while on a main road approaching a junction with a vehicle waiting to turn into or cross the main road.
Even though the other driver looks straight at you, there is no guarantee this driver has actually seen you.
