Bugger crashe, didn't think an old hand like you would get 'binned' like that, just shows you we are all able to be caught out.

Hop the knee fixes fast. (I know what that injury feels like - not good)

Owch Crashe! Hurting that knee's gonna make life a bit tougher over the next week or so, but you'll pull through

Take care of yourself, and here's hoping the bike can be tidied up again too!

That's not good, Crashe. Don't rush getting back on the bike...tho we know you want to....best to heal properly first. In saying that, I hope you are not 'out' for too long.

cheers guys/gals...

Once I know what damage is done to the bike.... then I can go from there as to whether I fix her or see what the insurance says..

A few KBers have kindly offered to pop out to see what condition my baby is in...

My leg will heal.... just needs rest.. and I wont be stupid to ride again until it is fixed up properly...

But Im missing not being able to ride already.. tis a nice fine day out there.

Oh and I will NOT be using my helmet again..... Its off to helmet heaven.

So can anyone come to have a look at my baby to see what needs repairing... that would be much appreciated... PM me please.

A pedestrian at crossing... car in front hestitated and then braked suddenly... I was braking to slow down, but had to swerve to miss the car.
I caught the edge of the car and flew over the handlebars and landed on my chin.

Just a few scratches to my hands and no damage done to my clothes.. but knee farked....

keep ya chin up girl!!! so to speak....

look after yaself and take it easy

Buggar about your off.

Hope your knee heals well & speedy. In time for your bike to be repaired/a new one.
Keep sane in the meantime.

sorry to hear about your accident Crashe, and sorry to hear about you damaging your knee, but at least your actually gonna get a new lid.
So were you follwing too close to stop or day dreaming or what. I wouldn't have thought you would have had a bin like that.
