Bugger... a forced day off work today. I can walk a bit better, but still very sore - can't wait for the bruising to come out, it's going to be a doozy!

Worst part is, I have a Team Manager swinging by some time today to drop me in a 9" thick pile of OSH paperwork and palava to fill in. Wonder if I can post the first message in the thread and just staple it to the front?

Yep, it seems you get to be punished twice ... once for the incident and then the excruciating paperwork to be filled in afterwards! So, did your team enforce a mandatory lay off period so you wouldn't come in stinking of faeces?

And more importantly, can you still ride?

My age may be causing my memory to fail, but didn't they used to make a point of putting manholes in the middle of the road, to AVOID traffic going over them?

What was middle of the road 80 years ago is middle of the lane, or any part of the lane nowadays. 10 years ago a roundabout was redeveloped here with 2 X 1mm2 steel plates covering/ accessing services, smack in the middle of the lane, man you don't ride/lean on those.

Ouch, you silly man.

Motorcycles are dangerous? Try joining the farking ambulance service!!

By the way, Nige, your avatar -- why has he only got one arm? Is that the arm they stuck the needle into?

No, it's pretty much when I feel right, I'll be back at work... if waking at 3 this morning to take a leak, and collapsing on the floor because my leg was too damn sore to stand on was an indicator, it could be another day or so!

And more importantly, can you still ride?

Yes... yes I can!

In fact I have just come back from a jaunt up the road, saw Sprag pass his 6R (yay yay, cheer cheer!) then went to the ball and chains work to say howdy, followed by some bike porn and booking in of the bike at East City. (Sick of having next to no brakes...)

I can ride so long as I lift my leg onto the left peg with my hand, and don't put my foot down when I stop. Can't sit in a car seat, they're too wide and hit the edge of my most excellent wound.

Damn, enforced biking!

"Physician, heal thyself!"

My first aid extends to a beer or two, and playstation... works well!

Be careful in your choice of anesthetics - we don't want you to fuck your liver (and it's a nasty way to go as well).

Hang on there, if he doesn't drink it, somebody else might, then they might get crook! Nobody wants that on thier concience, drink up buddy

I agree with the Arnica treatment - I (we, with 2x young lads) use it often.
Naturo Pharm 'Accident Relief' cream, in a blue and white tube at most chemists. Can't put it on broken skin though... But good shit for bruises - and piles! Even used it on my cats ear, when vet was saying "We'll have to cut it off" (due to ruptured vein filling the cats ear up with blood, making a big bulgy bit). Put Arnica on it for a few days, sac of blood shrank and disappeared, and cats still got two ears!

Top points for good save, keeping you out of the shit when it counted!
