Shit, not good at all, at least like you say you are in one piece. Hopefully they track down the responsible driver and flog 'em.

Glad you're ok overall mate, sounds like the wounds will heal which is the main thing. Re the bike, I'm sure the coppa has it sorted. If it was a hit and run I hope he/she gets nailed to the wall.

Keep us posted.

Good to hear you're in one piece. Good luck with everything.

I was just saying to the missus before I wish we were in yankeeland so I could sue them for discomfort and all that sorta thing :-)

Got a ride down to the salvage yard before, bikes not TOOO bad, brake pedal and footpeg & mount are totally munted, been bent right around pararllel with the bike. Handle bar end is bent, but forks seem to be straight. Headlight and speedo are smashed totally now (as opposed to just comsetic damage before), mirror smashed, most of the chrome on the right hand side is scratched. Pipes have big gouges in them..

Just got handed the camera so will put some photos up. The one thing I'm super-dooper happy about is all the black bumper shit scraped down the side of the bike, cops cant say I crashed on my own now!

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.

Sorry to hear that

But Just to clear things up... Hamiltion has a town AND traffic now?????

poor bike

poor you

hope it all gets sorted soon.

**DemonWolf** · 16th May 2006, 12:53

thats one mean dent\rash on that tank!

**madboy** · 16th May 2006, 12:53

Ouch, that's gotta hurt someone's insurance company. Now get to the real pics - where's the ankle and missing flesh??!!

Can you elevate your ankle onto the desk and put the keyboard on your lap? A man can only be expected to survive without p**n/games/forums for so long before it becomes cruel and unusual punishment.

Important thing is any accident you walk (loose interpretation of the word here) away from is a good one. All the best for the recovery.

**SPman** · 16th May 2006, 12:58

What a barstard! If you tweaked your ankle, it could take a while to come right - mine's still giving me shit 7 months on....

I'm just a bit worried they will write it, because its alot of comsetic damage.. I really want it fixed up because its gonna take me ages to find another bike I like that I can afford. Ankle and most of the foot is covered in compression bandage stuff atm.. might get pics later when it comes off :-)

Got it propped up on a pillow on top of my sub under the desk and its not too bad.. And yep anything you can walk, hop, or crawl away from is alot better than one you cant. I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself everytime I jar my ankle, (as you do) but I've been thanking my lucky stars I didnt do a 2smoker or stonechucker or worse.

Oh and as for that tank road rash, if you look you can see where the dent was from last month that I was supposed to be getting pulled out in the next week or so. Also another dent further down the tank as well without the rash (leg into tank is my guess). Damn glad I put off getting the other cosmetic stuff looked at till after the tank job was done.

All the best for a speedy recovery mate (for you and the bike!)

**outlawtorn** · 16th May 2006, 13:45

Really sorry to hear about the accident dude, hope you make a full speedy recovery and hopefully it all goes smoothly with sorting out yer bike.

I fucking hate those people mover things, the fucking things are so huge you can't see properly out of them, we had one for our family and got rid of it quickly as you can't see shit around you.

**Lias** · 16th May 2006, 15:11

Woohoo! Just spoke to the cop who attended, and he said the other driver did stop and there were witnesses etc and the other driver did admit to turning in front of me.

So thats a huge load off my mind. I feel like drinking a few beers but given I'm on prednizone, antibiotics, codeine and voltaren it probably wouldnt be the best idea.. Still I'll be having a few once I'm off the pills :-)

Took some photos of my foot too, will post some stage later tonight :-)
