Have hospitals set up internet access so we can all go on BCF to post up crash threads?

Bloody nice of them!

Hope you get better soon Jack, how long you in for?

unlucky man,

I have a nasty gash on my right knee from low-siding a planet myself, back when I was 18. But you're right, at least they crash pretty well!

Get well soon and remember the old cliche, chicks dig scars Razz Thumbs Up

Well, i'm out of hospital. Physio was an arse pain, but at least i can move. The hole in my knee was rather nice. There was one about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide which went down to bone, which was rather interesting, and another one which was about an inch in diameter just above it.

The cause of the crash appears to be gravel mid-corner, but i don't really want to have a go at the highways agency or council because i simply cannot be arsed. The policeman who attended said that there was no gravel on the corner, but he didn't look to where the sliding started, he only looked at the area where i came off. I'll get some pics of the bike and my gear up.

I think part opf the reason they crash well is that they use your leg as a crash bung. I think i might try and get some universal bungs to save my leg rather than the bodywork lol.

According to the police officer who took us North lot at Bike-safe, the local councils now just pay up for lack of repair/maintenance without even looking at the suspected problem!! The government has not given them enough money to maintain the roads so instead they just place what money they do have aside for claims. It's apparently a lot less hassel to do this and they pretty much pay out for motorcycles now no questions asked. Worth a shot as you will get money back for your bike and without losing your own insurance companies no-claims.

It'll be at least a month before i can ride, but a set of renthals and a coupla levers should have it totally rideable £40 and i'm roadworthy again Cool As soon as i can ride it, i'll give you a shout about the fork seals!

Ther corner it was is the nice big swoopy left hander in fingerpost where the lights are, heading from town to blackbrook. I have no idea how i managed to go up the central reservation without the bike flipping over.

Why? Were you not legal when you came off then?

I don't see how reporting a dangerous bit of road to the body who owns it can have any repercussions on your licence? Confused

Glad your not too beaten up mate, seems everybody's crashing. I think the only thing keeping me from a spill and a stay at hospital is the fact that my bike's off the road more than on Neutral

the bars are aftermarket ones, the previous owner chucked it down the road and the OE bars died. It now looks like one of those japanese speedway-esque bikes which have one handlebar bent up to allow them to lean stupidly far.

i know where you mean they put a load of gravel down on the central reservations for some unknown reason, and its been blowing/moving onto the road ever since. i dunno about claiming if you havnt got the right paper work its like me doing the same and then claiming. although me mate will tell you about his cousin who was being pursued on a stolen bike and got knocked of by amember of the public he deserved it but got thousands in compensation. gonna say though now might be a good time to do your forks as you are of the road and you could see if youve bent them when you fell off p.s.

put off that such a horrible accident can happen on a 125 with an experienced rider wearing good quality gear. I'm only on a moped but buying a 125 at the weekend. The concept is a little daunting now!

I've been riding nearly 2 years and only got a 125 in january. I'm not what is usually classed as experienced. I didn't have protective pants on either. My jacket saved me elbow smashing, and some evil gravel rash, the boot meant i didn't lose my foot, which i would have done without it, and thanks to my helmet, i didn't die.

As i said before, if i had protective pants on i would have walked away, and if i had taken the corner at a slower pace, which is advisable anyway, i might not have lost control.

Don't be put off, just learn that if you have the right gear you'll escape with little or no injury. If you choose not to wear the gear then the chances of losing limbs and extremeties increases a lot.
