Every cloud has a silver lining. You would have torn even more muscles in filling out all those stupid forms:rolleyes:

I've been having a good weekend, out on the job bike for the last three days, eight or so hours a day on patrol on the BMW R1200RT.

It's a big, heavy beastie, about 260kg wet weight plus a bit for the radio, lights and other kit we carry.

So today I was mooching around, looking for trouble when it found me in the most innocuous way.

I pulled up at a junction, left foot down on the shell-grip. I usually balance the bike really well, but this time, my foot slipped on some sh1tty bit of gravel and bang!

The bike started to topple, my foot then stuck to the floor (How with gravel there but who knows?) so I couldn't re-position it and I had visions of a snapped leg (again) and an awefull lot of writing to cover the damage to the bike. (shame but true)

At the last moment, my left foot came free and instead of letting the bike go onto it's crash bars, stupid ol' me decided to hold it up.

Now imagine 260kg at 45 degrees from verticle and how hard that is to recover. I managed it in that instant of instinct but boy oh boy, am I regreting it now.

I'm in agony all across my back, my neck doesn't work any more and each time I move in the wrong way, I can't breath! I've ripped the muscles to some tune.

No looking for any sympathy, I wouldn't expect it :rolleyes: but **** a brick, it hurts!

So, my advice, drop the feckin' bike!

Pete :(

Sorry to hear Pete, hope you recover soon
Out of interest where was that pic taken?
Do you ever patrol around Bolton?
