... If there's any damage to it (..the bike that is :roll:) what do think an insurance company would think if they saw on a claim..
.. a helicopter fell from the sky, causing me to drop the bike and leg it.

So long as the insurance companies don't make the guy 50% responsible for the chopper.... nothing inscos do surprises me anymore ;)

Cough....it was a female rider.... :wink:

PS I know this thread was posted 'lightly', but spare a thought for those of us with family travelling in helicopters weekly, and who personally knew some of those lost on North Sea flights. Apologies if being over sensitive, just saying :cry:

I know what you mean, and fully appreciate it, I guess in part it's a bit of a British thing to make light of tragedy. Doesn't mean we don't care about those involved
