Crashed!
Joined the ranks of the forum members posting from a&e. Van pulled out on me on my way home so ended up getting taken back to the hospital i work in!
Went over the bonnet at about 40 but looks like I've escaped anything serious. Curvy will be a write off though, on the same day that i ordered new chain and sprockets and front pads!

Re: Crashed!
You must have had a decent set of leathers on for that!
I'm glad you're alright, it's good that you're not another "bikes are dangerous!" government statistic. Sorry to hear about your bike, especially as you just ordered new stuff... But Chris is right, the bike can be replaced but you can't. The van driver's insurance should replace your bike though. I wish you a swift recovery and hopefully you'll be back on a bike in no time

Damn, hope you're not in too much discomfort, and you recover quickly.

Re: Crashed!
Thanks all! Just back from hospital - nothing broken, just pretty bad bruising.
Very lucky in that a nurse from work (who is also a bsb medic)and a guy who services my boiler saw the whole thing, can vouch i was well under the 60 limit, sounded the horn approaching the junction etc. Have to say i was papping it while flying through the air and immediately afterwards (thought my legs had broke) but i feel like i could get back on a bike now.

Re: Crashed!
NB will shortly be asking advice from others on here who have been there before re insurance process. Police attended and he said he was insured.
