Thanks for the comments everyone. It was a strange and awful feeling to get the call from hospital saying that he'd come off his bike. Isn't it the son that is supposed to torment the parents with acts of bravery / silliness gone wrong?!?
Dad's bruise has grown heaps since that photo, but believe me Warren, it's no longer the nice plum colour that you'd want to paint a Cobra.......
Anyway - I think there's method in Dad's madness. Imagine how happy Mum will be if Dad says that he's selling the bike to build a Cobra. Much safer and more practical. What a great way to justify building a new car
