Just had an accident

I got hit by a Galaxy on a roundabout this morning on the way to school. I came up to the roundabout and stopped, checked it was clear- it was, and went to turn right. Almost made it round when the women pulled out and hit the crankcase of the bike making me fall to the right. I tryed to keep it up but the stand had got caught under the bumper. Luckly I manged to jump off and am not hurt at all, just a little shaken up. She was very apologetic and new it was her fault, she kept saying 'i just didnt see you' etc. I was angry and shocked at the same time. The bike has scratches on the exhust, the crankcase and down the right side but nothing too major. The police had to come because we were blocking the road and I had to give details etc. Hopefully My dad and I can get the insurance sorted soon.

Not really in a great mood at the moment Sad

, this was my first accident and I hope it's my last.

sounds like it could have been a lot worse. At least you're still in one piece and were able to ride the bike away.

Good luck with the insurance claim

Sorry, but when I read the first line of your post, I was imagining a galaxy chocolate bar attacking you.....it made me laugh initially, but hopefully you arent hurt bad?
