A scooter pulled out on you!

That's unusual and hopefully more painful for him than it is for you.

[Rookie]

Bad luck Ben. Did the scooter rider have any injuries?

[Essex_Mike]

Unusual but not surprised looking at the way some of the scooter riders ride near to me!! (Not Tarring everyone with the same brush, but you know who you are!) Well, hope you are on the mend and on the bike soon.

[puremagic72]

Most young scooter riders are a accident waiting to happen to be honest, they ride side by side each other,weaving in/out of traffic, and have no regard for anyones safety, not looking where their going or doing, etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Although i have seen the odd one scooter rider riding sensibly(usually the slightly older ones).

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

[aha-shake]

Sorry for no reply!

Ran out of money for the bloody patient line thing. It was mind numbingly slow anyway.

Basically, i was in the inside lane of a highstreet, the outside lane was static with traffic, but cars dont use the inside lane before 5 because its littered with parked cars half on pavement etc, so only cyclists and motorbikes use it (to great effect!).

to my left was a side road, which the guy on the ped and cut accross the outside lane to get too, came between two cars and across my lane without even sparing it a glance, almost the moment he was out from between the cars i hit him, basically in the middle of the road.

Luckily I was only doing around 20mph, so it wasnt a cataclysmic crash, but unfortunatly for me, my big ol Varadero landed on my leg, snapped it and crushed my ankle.

Adrenaline gave me the strength to get it off, but when i went to lift my leg up the bottom quarter flopped straight down! Which resulted in me screaming "Ive broken my leg!" on my back in the middle of the road!

Ambu-bike arrived within 5 minutes, cut off my trousers, supported my leg etc, cops and ambulance arrived after about 10, lots of happy gas, splinted my leg, gave me morphine etc, caught the disco taxi to A & E.

Queue lots, lots more happy gas (which by the way makes your hearing go CraAazy), then more morphine and something a bit stronger than knocked me out while they relocated my ankle and plastered my leg!

Got an opp later that night to but a load of screws and a plate in my ankle, got out of hospital a couple of days later. With a big cast that is.

Scooter kid was fine, no injuries (was walking around fine). Stitches out on the 8th, and new cast. Then I get one of the screws out after another 7 weeks and then i can start putting weight on it. And apparently it'll be a few weeks after that before i can walk without crutches.

And hopefully Ride!

Thanks for all the get well's etc, did manage to read a few at hospital but was generally dosed up to my eyeballs!

Shake

Stitches out

[Blackrhythms]

OMG! Glad to hear you're doing well though and a speedy recovery to you!

Yeah Ethonox, and it made me trip, got told to take alot of it quickly because they were about to put my leg in a splint, hearing went crazy, i was led on my back on the road so all I could see was the sky and it started swirling and moving, head lolled back, all that.

Update.. Bike's a write off.

shake

[st3v3]

I was on the equinox gas once.

Same thing happened just 500yds from my house a couple of weeks ago.
Outside lane stopped at lights.
Clear inside lane.
Someone 'kindly' leaves a gap for cars from the other side to get into the gas station.
Someone sees the gap and dives through into the gas station like a stupid cunt.
No regard for anyone aproaching the lights to turn left or go straight on.

It must be a common thing.

We must be more carefull of those bastards in cars out there.

Nice to see you got the use of a computer mate.
Hope the leg gets better.
Will you be able to play the piano after they take that cast off 'n' that?
