    Lias down

    Goddammit :-(

    Some douchebag in a people mover decided to turn out of a line of traffic right into me as I was heading across town tonight. No idea what state my bikes in as I pretty much didnt move from hitting the road till when they loaded me into the ambo. Thankfully and somewhat amazingly I'm still in one piece.. My ankle/foot hurt like buggery, but dont appear to be broken (gotta have more xrays in a week when less swelling, but looking good). Just very badly bruised/sprained/scraped . I managed to leave my shoe a fair way down the road before I came to a rest, and my foot kept hitting the road so I'm missing some nice big chunks of skin..

    After I got home I rang the cops to find out where my bike was etc, and the watchhouse guy I spoke to put me on hold for ages to find out , and when he came back he seemed to think that It was a single vehicle accident and no other car was involved, so now I'm stressed out to the max and need to wait to talk to the cop who attended tomorrow. God I hope the guy in the watchhouse misunderstood.

    On a totally unrelated note, I now understand why people take nitrous oxide recreationally.. That shit doesnt stop the pain, but you just dont CARE about it anymore lol.

    Anyways thats my tale of woe for the evening.

    So if the cops think yours was a single-vehicle accident, presumably then the driver of the offending bus didn't stick around until the emergency services arrived?

    Sorry to hear Lias, get well soon mate
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Don't stress, the attending cop will have worked it out.

    Bummer

    Good to hear you are still in one piece though.

    Rest easy. Worry is a killer.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
