I'm a dick
 

Worst record on the forum I think.

Done it again.

Managed to ride it home but will need a near gear selector assembly and full set of fairings, mirrors, windscreen and crash bungs.

Took a bend too fast considering my rustiness and new tyres and suspension. Was very low then the bend tightened, got a bit lower but couldn't go any further down as peg was already scraping. Would have made it if the road had been clear but there was a car coming the other way. In an effort to avoid him I tried to go outside him but he tucked up right to the side of the road leaving me nowhere to go, clipped a fence and went flying up the road.

BIG THANKS to everyone for everything afterwards. Especially the guy who followed me up the road, sorry never got your name.

Shall be sending my crash bung back to R&G as it just sheared off instead of sliding

Jeez! That sounds like a bad one!

You ok?

Arm is very very sore, tempted to go and get it x-rayed.

Walked away though so it could be worse

Bad news mate. :(

That makes it official that you've got the SV Ecosse crown for slides per mile! :shock:

Glad your walking.
Go to the hospital , even if they don't xray it they will give it a good exam.
If you're not claiming off your ins. say you did it on a private test track or they will want to claim off your insurance for their costs.IMHO
Defraud the NHS at your risk and conscience

Have you guys up there never seen Hill Street Blues??? :lol:

Glad you're ok & go get it checked out. The NHS didn't charge me and I admitted to riding like an idiot :wink:

Well, you know what I'm going to say- give me a bell if I can help out... And sorry to hear about it- sounds like it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

get down the hospital, even if just to ogle at the nurses. give drew a detailed description of them.

hope everything is ok

But be warned, if Drew gets wind he'll deliberately injure himself just so he can get some of his own, he did that last time out of pure jealousy. Just as well he never met the austrian nurse in my ward or he'd have been at his own hip with a hammer :)

Thanks guys.

Just had a very restless sleep. Don't feel any better for it but my arm isn't quite as bad as it was. Toe is really sore though, think the nail lifted up. But neither is life threatening, would have been much worse if I'd hit the front of the car.

Going to eat something now then see if I can drive over to the hospital.
