Hey all

Another Biker Down - Me

Came off yesterday morning, cosmetically totalled the bike.

Car coming towards me around a corner, on my side of the white line, swerved to avoid head on collision, but then couldnt make the corner, front wheel just clipped the grass verge on side of road, threw steering out of my hands and high sided the bike. The other car didnt stop, some old faded red car.

Spent morning in hospital, I was wearing protective clothing, so I'm basically OK except a huge hole in my right knee down to bone and aches and pains all over.

Doctor said should be able to walk properly within a month or two, then hopefully back out riding once I fixed the bike back up. Has to be the scariest thing ever!

Sorry to be reading this mate......
no witnesses I take it ?

Nope no witnesses, when the bike landed on the floor the mirror mount bent back and punched a perfect 6mm hole in my petrol tank that I'd just filled to the brim, and being stuck under the bike my leg and foot was completely soaked in petrol. Luckly managed to get free and a man stopped to help about 2 mins later.

Well you can only hope that the driver of the red car get's thiers at some point......Don't think you've said, where did this happen?

Sorry to hear about your accident.

it makes me sick when a car causes an accident then f*!ks off. hope the police will catch this a** hole. the same happend to me on my TZR. When police caught him it emerged that the bloke worked for the same firm as me!!!!

police didnt press charges!!!

long and awquard insurance claim but was worth it!

Hope you get well soon mate
