Is hearing your baby grinding up the road :crying:
I was on my way to work this morning, I pulled up at a roundabout and stopped to wait for a gap in the traffic. I inched forward a tad to bring me closer to the white lines and stopped again as there was still traffic coming round the roundabout...... and the next thing I know I'm shooting out on to the roundabout and and me and my bike are going down
The car behind me thought I was going out on to the roundabout (inspite of the traffic coming round it!!!) and drove into my rear wheel and propelled me out into the traffic
As I was going down I was thinking "Feck, I hope nothing hits me" and luckily nothing did..
A lady dived out of her car and told me not to move and called the police and the ambulance but a passing ambulance stopped too.. They checked me all over and I'm fine-ish.. I reckon my knee is gonna develop some lovely bruises and I think I've pulled a muscle in my back but other than that was more shaken up than anything..
Initial reaction was "IS MY BIKE OK?????????" :O "WHERE'S MY BIKE?????" :O
Damage to my baby seems to be a bent rear brake lever, and possibly the mounting for it (need to check her over properly).. The crash bung on that side looks a tad knackered but protected my fairings from everything but a few extra scrapes.. And part of the engine casing is worn away at the bottom...
Both me and my baby came away relatively unscathed thankfully..
