We have all read these threads and it pisses me off that I am now writing one but I just need to get this shit off my chest. My first bike was whacked today, first bikes are special and I loved my lil Spada too.
On the way to work this morning about 1/4 to 7, I apporached a roundabout in a 50k area and reliesed I would have to give way to a ute entering from my right. I slowed and changed down throught the gears but did not come to a complete stop and smack.Violated right up the rear by a bloody Mitsi Lancer.
I dont remember much except slowing down and waking up on the road. people who saw it say I was hit at about 40km/h and flew 6 metres before landing on my scone. I woke up and was helped from the road but flaked out again. Im pretty stoked that nothing really hurts, major head and neck ache, very swollen ankle and a few more pains slowly emerging. My bike is rightoff and same with some of my gear, insurance should see me right i hope. If the guy hadnt hit me he would have t-boned the ute going through the roundabout, at least he made an effort and called anambulance.
If anyone knows of a good replacement bike let me know. Will not have huge money to play with.
