A riderless motorcycle filmed on the A4 motorway near Paris on May 28.
It turned out that the bike had continued moving after a collision that unseated its 20 year old rider. Suffering only an injured arm, the rider was given a lift by the driver of the vehicle that hit him. Finding no trace of the bike, they wisely continued on to hospital.

Denis O’Brien
Colm Keena, in The Irish Times, reports:
Businessman Denis O’Brien has lodged an appeal in the case he took against the Dáil, the Dáil Committee on Procedures and Privileges and the State over comments made in the parliament about his financial affairs.
…Papers lodged with the courts indicate he is taking his case to the Court of Appeal. However, it is understood he will also seek to have his case go directly to the Supreme Court on the basis that it involves important constitutional issues.
As part of his appeal he will be seeking to overturn the High Court’s ruling that he pay the legal costs of the seven-day hearing.
There you go now.
