Someone drove over my foot! - SV650.org

My actual foot! In a car! I was so surprised I didn't even do them any damage. Teach me not to be responsible at traffic lights... (I'd decided to take it easy, because in the other lane was a Caterham 7 and I didn't want to get horsed off the line...)

Ow. Heard of this a lot but luckily my feet can't possibly stick out that far...

Hope there's no damage.

Oh yeah, good point. No, none really, a bit sore and bruised but my boots did their job very well. Very nearly dropped it out of surprise, though.

I thought I was unlucky but my god how unlucky are you, you take everything to the next level...

At least if your getting all the bad luck the other people of the world are safe...

That's happened to me a few times. on and off the bike. Luckily steel toes do their job well.

I think it would be churlish of me to call having your foot run over and not being noticably injured unlucky

Yeah. Some ******* in a taxi in NYC just ran over my foot, and sort of side swiped me.

I too was so suprised by the whole thing, I didnt do anything. Mind you, I was also aware that if I started... I would have become very angry, very quickly. I was wairing Gaerne boots, no steel toes, and I was grand.
Glad to hear you didnt get knocked off or drop it Northy.

Steel toe caps on a motorcycle are not the best idea in the world as they have a nasty habit of bending back and chopping off your toes in an accident.

Ouch! Perish the thought!

Glad you got off lightly north

Yeah, had this happen to me too. Sitting in traffic and this old battered white micra just rolls onto my foot. I knocked on the window, flipped open my lid and asked if he would get off my foot please. He looked kinda terrified but did as he was told.
