Shiney side down river side up!
Well black ice got the better of me this morning. Slowish spill, however I ended in a&e suspected. Broken ankle and wrist and worst bit back! l
Just heavy bruises and a few days off work. The bike - foot peg gear change bar end and slider on the back wheel is the only damage I can see. Buell assist is taking it to Aston hd for a proper check. So will wait for a report off them. Couldn't see damage to the frame. Main thing is I will mend relatively quickly and the bike can be sorted! Be careful peeps. |

Re: Shiney side down river side up!
sorry to hear that mate, GWS. I didn't think the roads were bad yet, the car was iced over so the air temp was low.

Re: Shiney side down river side up!
It was a burst main pipe the ST haven't dealt with for over a week. The other annoying bit is another bike also lost it on the same spot about 2 hrs before me and had to be sorted out. But no one bothered to close the road or put grit down. Just lucky that no car was coming on the otherside as that would have made it all a little worse.

Re: Shiney side down river side up!
Bummer GWS mate.
You should be able to claim off ST if that was a direct cause of the accident. If you havent got somebody already, get them to take pics of the scene, maybe get some local residents to witness that this leak was over a week old. Secretly ring ST and report the leak and see if they already know about it cos surely that can be their only defence, that they didnt know about the leak (?) Phil |

Re: Shiney side down river side up!
Severn Trent Knew about the leak had been reported earlier in the week. Won't say much more but I have a solicitors meeting on the 8th November. Thanks for all the wishes. Just want my bike back now.
Anyone got a cheap run around they don't want. - with 6 months MOT. Just to cover winter really. |
