Not great. To add insult to injury. They have discharged me with a sling a packet of codine and an appointment to see a specialist on the 17th. **** knows how I am going to do anything till then. Any movement of my left arm is excruciating. I'm sure they don't know the best way to fix it.

The car in front of me panic braked, he says something was in the road. I touched my brakes and the bike washed out from under me. The road was super slick. We were doing 40 in a 50.

Ride safe folks, it hurts like buggery when it goes wrong.

I might not be getting back on a bike again.

That's **** mate. GWS

Did he brake check you or was he genuine/clueless?

[Grant66]

That's pretty ****. Hope you heal quickly.

Shoulder injuries are slow to heal, still suffering a bit of pain from the incident in 2018 but that could just be because I'm old.

The NHS physio is poor and stops before it's of any benefit. Get yourself some additional private treatment, it's not cheap though.

Chin up and hope you get better and don't let it put you off riding. I hate this time of year because our roads always seem slick so I double my,"Bubble" in traffic e.g ride as if it was raining :/

Bloody hell Martin! That’s not good news at all. Don’t know what to say except that you must allow the full time to heal up, trying to do too much, too soon will just lay in trouble for the future. The bike can be mended again once you are fit enough to do it, and you will ride again. It just seems a bit bleak and unlikely at this point, but you’ll get there and back on two wheels.

You need to get sorted anyway, in time for the possibility of either another BPW, or, if the chat comes to anything, an AR.

Hope you can get through the next few days and the pain settles down to a manageable level quickly. GWS matey.

Sorry to hear that Martin. I hope you mend quickly.

Thank you everyone. Today has been a bit of a **** one. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Oooof, sorry to hear that, hope you mend quickly.

I wrote my K6 off on a patch of diesel while braking lightly at 45mph in a straight line to slow down for a junction back in Feb 19. The road was a little damp but not really wet, but it was just damp enough to conceal the patch of diesel which was literally 12" wide and about 3 or 4 feet long. Bike went from under me like it had been hit by a missile. That's why I replaced it with a Gen 3 with ABS.

GWS SG. Sounds like a good excuse to take it very easy at this hectic time of year, although I would not wish it on anyone.

Best staying off the bike at the moment I think. Hope the injury heals ok. Broken bones take about 6 weeks don't they.
