ecided last week to grab a big box of fireworks and visit my brother in errrr sunny Croydon for friday the 5th (starting to wish i had gone to soho for a couple of hours first).

Riding thru Stretham, noticed a car pull out from the left/stop 3 or so feet over giveway/did it stop? still not sure which one......

Next thing i remenber is thinking 'Hmmmmm front has locked this is going to hurt' in 1/10th speed, followed by a fwd fast feeling of 'Crunch, slideeeeeeeeee, stop' think the bike did a 180 on the zorst

Open my eyes to find im indeed lying in the road with smashed headlights and faring looking at me and people round me.

After being strapped to a lump of metal, driven to Mayday, poked prodded and xrayed, i hobbled out with a splint on right wrist and a bottle of painkillers.

Bike in Charlton pound to be collected, im sore as hell prossible bust right wrist/scaphoid, egg on right knee, hip prolly gonna go purple.

Other than that, my Rukka trousers did thier job (small hole in cordura), same with jacket, boots, gloves - lid is untouched, aparently i slid on my right side like superman with my head on my right arm!

Well least i walked out of A&E - slowly but none the less under my own steam.

Boy is my insurance company going to be upset with me!

Well thats you and Essex Dave hitting the black stuff, and like him you're ok, which is the main thing.

Insurance upset, thats what you pay them for, its their job

Hope the bumps and bruises get better soon
