Had a crash, need advice...

Proving that telling the truth is always the best approach.

I once put an insurance claim in for something that I did that destroyed a car, noting on the bottom that I "was sorry for being a stupid moron".

They paid out, and the claims lady had a giggle.

Um....screw the bike, how are YOU? You must have got some injuries surely?

Pretty lucky really. It was a relatively slow crash, enough to tip the bike and knock me off. I must have reacted quickly and lifted my leg up, because my shin isn't all smashed in.

I did land on my shoulder however, and it still hurts a bit when I stretch it, but thankfully that's the only real injury.

It's my third bike accident. Once I smashed into the back of a car going down Ngauranga Gorge, flew across 3 lanes, stopped traffic and had a car come to a stop centimetres from my head and all I had was a blood blister on my finger where the clutch lever smashed it.

So yeah, I've been lucky when it comes to bike accidents
