Well last night on the way home from work while indulging in some "extreme filtering" on the A I had a car do a U-turn right on top of me..... Long story short... I was lucky, Broke a bone in my foot and because they couldnt put a walking cast on it last night (2am) I am just about to go back to the hospital now and get one

I hope they have them in black.

On a side note.... Codeine is niiice!

Yeah but, how's the bike??!!??

Ouch thats no good Hels. Happy healing. Hows the bike?

Take a couple of weeks off...you can stay up late and watch the RWC games

Luckily the bike is OK. I managed to ride it home. The foot peg is bent right in but can be straightened as can the lever. Ive just started a new job so cant take any time off work but im sure they're wondering why they employed me already!!

Codene is nice for the first day or two .. and then it causes constipation ... just a side effect warning ...

Hope you heal well ....

Heal well Helen, my god, you are the most unlucky (or maybe lucky.....) person I know, we need to wrap you in cotton wool everytime you mount a bike!!

Drink lots of beer as well, that will overcome the constipation !

Hope you heal up good.

You haven't had constipation until you've had codeine constipation...

Bad luck (or is it bad riding?

), Dude.

As for codeine, up to 25% of the population (including the vifferbabe) can't metabolise it, so it's useless as a analgesic for them!

Owch .. glad to hear you were able to ride home and still with us! So now the insurance claims kick in? Hope you heal up well and get your ride fixed ... any pics later showing damage? (To bike! Not to you! Eep!

)

Oh shit. Well, look on the bright side ... ahhh ... nope. Never mind.

So, you are going to get one of those big arse casts that has a shoe-like sole thing?

Its an A100 man!

No need to insure a bike that can be fixed with a sledgehammer!

Seriously tho, I had a look at the bike and altho Str8 Jacket will probably downplay it a bit

the meaty steel peg was bent right back, the bending had been done buy her foot, as it hit the side of the car, you could actually sorta see how the bike damage, injuries and clothing damage all matched up.

If I had seen just the footpeg bent back I would have thought It was worse than a broken swollen bruised foot.....
