Just to let you know that my girlfrind and I were knocked off the SV on Good Friday (25/03/05)

We were on the North Circular (A406) going westbound, a white van pulled into us from somwhere on the right. It didn't stop.

The girlfriend didn't have a scratch. I have a fractured collar bone and rib.

The bike went down on the right hand side only suffering minor damage due to JHS racing crash bobbins.

Gutted for you, broken bones, not good.

Very very sorry to hear this. A bless that your other half is unscathed, and that you're presumeably going to be okay in the long run.

I guess no one got the van's number? Or stopped to help? I'm sure the Police got involved, perhaps prompt them to check CCTV footage of the surrounding area.

In the meantime - you'll be needing this: http://www.mib.org.uk

Glad you're not hurt worse than you are though that's little consolation. The North Circular and White Van Man are a deadly combination and it can really be a very nasty route to use. Heal soon.

<Rant> There are most likely thousands of white vans without tax and insurance that use it every day but are they targeted by the Met? Not that I can see, they're more interested in easier targets like bikes with non-legal exhausts and small plates. </Rant>

Ouch! Sorry/angry to hear about this.

Damn!

Sorry to hear of this mate.

Hope you're not too sore... I know how much broken collar bones can hurt!

Hopefully there will be some CCTV footage as mentioned already.

Heal soon.
