Lias down

Good to hear about the other driver. Now you can RELAX and get better.

You're right - the beer won't mix well with the prednisone and voltaren - not good for the stomach. As for the anti-biotics, don't drink booze if they are flagyl. Others are ok (imho).

That sucks man. Hope it all works out, main thing is you aint dead, hope the dude that hit ya develops a wicked bad case of GALLOPING KNOB ROT, looses his wife to a fat bald guy, then finds out his kids aren't really his, but just to add insult to injury, the fifteen year old girl he thaught was his, is pregnant to a fourty year old unemployed street sweaper, with no teeth and a wooden leg.

What a fucker Lias. Anyhoo in accordance with Fizzermans thread I'm a fat bald guy and I'm about to steal the guys woman.

Hmm... That's sounds annoyingly familiar!
Bad luck about the accident, although by the sounds of it the end result was a lucky one. Apart from a swollen/sprained ankle (I hope that is all it is), bruising/scrapes and possibly a bruised wallet, you couldn't ask for much better.

I hope that you get the accident details sorted out at the station, and that you heal up quick and get back out there.

All the best for a good recovery!!! Lots of

. I hope the driver gets what is coming to them!!!

stink luck dude.....but hope it all turns out for the best

Bad news bout being skittled, but good news that the other fellow has admitted liability. Make sure your insurance company has a copy of the cop's report asap and your worries about your bike at least should be over. When you up and riding again let me know...about time the Waikato saw some more group rides!

Sorry to hear about the crash at least your (relatively speaking) OK, you can spend some spare time on "battle scar" stories. Good that the driver owned up saves a lot of worry for you. All the best and happy healing.

OH NO !!! not again, sorry about your unfortunate luck, go out and a buy lotto.
GOOD LUCK MATE

Strewth! You a hard man, Fizz! Seriously, Lias, glad you're okay, sort of! Gives us all pause to think - coulda been any one of us here, even if we don't live in Hamilton...! Sounds like the other driver realised he was in the wrong and has a conscience. We can all make mistakes - a door pillar or mirror can conceal a truck and the outside mirror is unreliable at seeing someone coming up beside you. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt meantime. Doesn't make it hurt less though! All the best at gettin better and gettin the bike repaired.

I was going along a main road, in the opposite direction to them.. They turned right out of a line of stationary traffic into my right foot. See attached MS Paint artwork.. I'm the arrow, they are the red vehicle turning into the side st.

Also attached foot pictures for the morbid minded ones :-)

Man, there is no excude for the dude that caused THAT crash!!

I thought initially you had come up from behind him and he pulled-out on front of you but to have you approach towards him and he STILL pulled out?

Argh! he needs a white cane and a 'seeing-eyed dog'!! (Scots slang for guide dog)

Man Lias, thats rough dude. I think we should round up all people mover drivers, repeatedly smack them on the nose with a newspaper for 5 hours straight while playing a looped mantra of "Look out for bikers".
