[tanis34]

i hope u didn't

[steve.s]

didnt what

[tanis34]

well looking at th helmet id think you had a fall

[steve.s]

yeh, out for a ride yesturday morn, and a car chainged lanes comeing up to a round about, infront of me. trouble is i dont remember a thing from a mile before the round about up until i woke up with a ambalnce crew with me. i only know this cus the police came to the hospital to see me

[ThEGr33k]

**** mate!

[Durbs]

It'll polish out a treat that.

[dizzyblonde]

interesting new style of lid there. Must have had a nasty bump to be out of it like that. Apart from that i presume you came off with just bumps?

[tanis34]

ouch whats the damage :(

[K]

Sometimes you brain just takes control and after the fact goes "Trust me, you don't need to know this!"
I still can't remember the specifics of my big bad off - a clear gap from prior to evasive manouvers until laying in the road being asked if all the gear they had piled up infront of me was everything I had... but I was apparently concious and lucid the entire time. Even twenty years on it gives me a queasy feeling in teh pit of my stomach if I try too hard to recall anything in 'The Gap' - so I simply trust my brain and figure it's right - I don't really need to know. ;)

I hope all your fingers and toes are still attached - to the correct bits - and that they are also still attached to the all important torso.

[thedonal]

Aww damn. You're well enough to type- which sounds like a good though. Hope it is.

Recover soon!

[steve.s]

ive taken a nice amount of skin of my right hand, and a bit of my left arm, and right knee, they didnt bleed cus of the friction burn off the road seald them, and a nice bit of concusion. as for the bike dont know i havent seen it.

[husky03]

[steve.s]

[Smoggy]

Ouch...

At least you're relatively okay bud. ;)

[Dangerous Dave]

GWS

[dirtsk8]

That's rubbish. You're okay though - that's what counts. Did the driver accept the blame for the accident?

[steve.s]

he said he didnt see me, but cus i carnt remember anything i carnt claim against him, its his word against mine and witnesses, but they carnt be rellied on apparently. police took statments from people there who said i did nothing wrong, he just didnt see me, and they left it at that(i think they said it was a taxi)

[dirtsk8]

That makes me want to spit. He said he didn't see you - so that's that?

That's bullocks. You need to get yourself some legal representation.

[Dangerous Dave]

'Dirtsk8', why are your crash bungs in the wrong place in your avatar???

[Biker Biggles]

Get hold of the police report on the incident.See what it says and take it from there.If you made contact with the other car and you "did nothing wrong"then you must have a case.If there was no contact it will be harder to prove,but might still be worth it.You will need a bike specialist lawyer.

[Dangerous Dave]

You will need a bike specialist lawyer.
Bromiley Holcroft (http://www.bromileyholcroft.co.uk/Html/home.htm), I have used them once before after my first big off and they dealt with that amazingly. They are currently dealing with the case following my last big off too.

[steve.s]

cheers guys for the advise, will look into this

[dirtsk8]

'Dirtsk8', why are your crash bungs in the wrong place in your avatar???

That's how it came when I bought it.

I looked into moving them, but the L/H one is a stud rather than a long allen bolt. It wouldn't come out of the frame, no matter how hard I tried. In the end it was less hassle to leave them be than change them.

[steve.s]

a quick up date so far, after finally getting the insureance pep's to have a look at the bike ( after 4 weeks and loads of phone calls ), they rang me to say "its a wright off".:smt022

[Dicky Ticker]

Welcome to the "Crash Dummies Club"------Glad your OKish China

[steve.s]

cheers guys, my wounds have healed nicely just left with the usual scars and the old pysio now to remind me of that event full day. yeh there are to many of us being injured lately, ride safe guys and look out for the idiot in the car, cus he wont be looking for you.

[Dangerous Dave]

Glad to hear you are healing well, keep the physio up as in years to come you will appreciate the effort they put into you.

[Shellywoozle]

GWS hun Woozle hugs.

Liaise with the police in relation to any action they take against the other party, they are investigating and will be able to say if witnesses give them a case for due care.

Have you got legal cover in your insurance? I wouldnt let them take that attitude unless there is no witnesses, they should be contacting them for a statement at least.

[steve.s]

err no i have no legal cover, didnt go for that extra same as not having leathers insured. ok its been a crap week, found out bike written off, not good but at least finaly sorted out, now been diagnosed as being diabetic, i just get one thing sorted out then i get something else go wrong.

[Lozzo]

err no i have no legal cover, didnt go for that extra same as not having leathers insured.

[monkey]

Glad you're ok. Out of interest what were you wearing?

[Dangerous Dave]

Out of interest what were you wearing?
Going by the chunks of skin missing, not leathers!!!

[vardypeeps]

Get Well Soon Matey. Hope you find a nice bike to replace yours soon. You should get 100% claim shoudn't you. I didn't see you just does not cut it!

[steve.s]

Going by the chunks of skin missing, not leathers!!!

err yes i was, this was my suit,
2477
and
2478
SIDI boots and of course a shoei bash hat.

[monkey]

Good man.

[Dangerous Dave]

ive taken a nice amount of skin of my right hand, and a bit of my left arm, and right knee, they didnt bleed cus of the friction burn off the road seald them.

How did you manage to get these injuries when wearing leathers???

[steve.s]

the one on my right hand was because my gloves came apart, and the left arm, my sleave rose up abit and my knee ?, this is only a guess cus when your unconsious you dont know.

[Dangerous Dave]

So badly fitting leathers then....

[steve.s]

what dont your sleaves move then or are they so tight. most peoples sleaves move to expose the wrist.

[Dangerous Dave]

The zip on the forearm is designed for you to put your arm through when undone and not when done up, no my sleeves do not ride up.
