Didn't bother with that as I bounced straight up - as well as a 60 year old can do that is. Possibly helped by already being on the brakes (a bruised left index finger is evidence of that) and it being slightly damp so I slid a bit rather than scraped. Just did the usual checks of both legs & both arms pointing in the correct direction and moving as normal, most blood being retained internally and is the bike OK? I will admit to being rather pleased with the damage inflicted on the car which will cost the owner quite a bit to fix for his stupidity.

Loss of earning capacity, pain, discomfort, inconvenience.... Need to check your bike, repairs and so on.

What earning capacity - I'm retired and have absolutely zero intention of ever working again
No problem with any of the other stuff and, as noted, bike is fine (I rode it 10 miles home) and the bar ends were a couple of pounds from AliExpress.

There's more damage to the other party who was at fault so I'm happy with leaving things as they are.

Someone has decided to go for a joyride on a Bomag road roller, top speed 6 mph.
On the plus side I don't think the standard stingers will be able stop it.

Don't think they're going to want to box it in, either. Otherwise I'd predict some very squished panda cars...

It's not one of the large ones. Two similar sized rollers.
Whoever's driving it won't be able to mount the pavement as they would with a car.
Going uphill, they could possibly walk alongside and talk the driver down. It's not exactly what you could call manoeuvrable.

Further to CyberKnight's answer, muskets were their secondary weapon despite the name given to them. In the close combat that followed, they abandoned their muskets, single shot weapons, and relied on the swordsmanship. Their primary weapons they were trained in.

The Lone Ranger had an Indian as a sidekick, so realistically was a lone ranger.

I believe he was the sole surviving ranger of a shoot-out, hence The Lone Ranger.

A trap set to stop them following. And treated by the indians in his recovery.

I actually saw that episode on my friends TV. Must have been about 70 years ago. All on glorious white and grey.

I had a T shirt with them on back in the 60's.

Morning.
It is a bit grey here this morning. I think it is just thin cloud.

When I hear peeps talking about aero bars are they talking about the milk chocolate and mint flavoured ones?
The bubbles seem to add to the flavour.

Good morning all, damp and breezy here, quite cool too, a high of 16° forecast.
