WeegieBlue's first crash
 

Got knocked off my bike tonight. A guy drifted out of his lane and clipped my rear wheel as I we exited a 2 lane roundabout. Only doing about 25mph but it still hurt! Bike damage was limited to left indicator and mirror, crash bung and gear change lever. The clothing I was wearing is ruined from sliding down the road and can only be described as rubbish, since my jacket did nowt to protect my arm and now has a wee hole in it. My left hip is agony as that's what landed first. Also smashed my iPhone screen :(

And the good news? Police car behind the idiot saw everything and the guy might be getting done for something or other. Will only be a small claim I think but at least it's non-fault.

Sorry to hear about that.:(
Get well soon mate. Glad the plod saw everything, at least there's some comfort in the fact that you've got a rock solid witness :D

bad luck mate-if you think your sore now wait till tomorrow, as for the gear you do tend to get what you pay for but textiles will shred-i was chasing a guy on foot last week and took a tumble running after him, textile jkt ripped to bits.

At least the plod will guarantee you no fault

Wont be that small a claim.You are looking at repairs to your bike plus replacement of all your bike clothing,boots gloves and helmet,all of which were/might of been damaged sliding up the road.Then there is the pain and suffering from your injuries.Get yourself seen by the doc so these are all documented.Several grands worth there if you do it properly.
