first crash, ouchies

[kiers]

basically, what happened was i was going down a road and i didnt realise there was a left turning, but apparently there was because some guy came flying out of it. when i saw him coming out i grabbed the brakes and the back locked. so i releqased the back but by that time i was at the start of the junction and another guy came out and hit me. check pics for better explanation.

bikes well buggered, forks are bent so itll cost an arm and a leg to fix, 3PO too so i'll be forkin out (no pun intended)

ive got a bit of a sprained ankle but apart from that i'm fine, just gutted it wasnt recorded, you've been framed would have gimme 250 squid for it, i must have flown about 12 foot. smacked me noggin on the floor but the lid did its job, no pain in me head at all.

lesson learnt tho: buy some boots and pay more attention to the road

Unless I missed it, you have not indicated which one of you was on the major road. Were you meant to stop, or was he? The way you phrased it makes it sound like you were on a main road and he was on a minor road, but in your other post you say you were to blame?
Did he have right of way?

Judging by the sketch it wasn't an open corner, so unfortunately it's pretty much a moment of idiocy, happens to the best of us.

yeah he had right of way, i ( in a moment of superior stupidity) didnt realise there was a road there. there was a big fence in front of it and it was only a 1 lane road so was hidden behind the fence. obviously i should have noticed it was a road but i really have no idea waht the fuck i was thinking.

I did exactly the same thing the first time out on my bike, except I was narrowly missed by a transit. I was going through this estate (The racecourse estate in hornchurch) and it has loads of crisscrossed roads and all the rights of way are different I failed to notice the give way lines and carried on.

Have the headstock o your bike examined by a professional, it's possible that the forks failed to absorb all the force and that your frame is fucked, possibly in a concealed damage kind of way.

If it is fine then get thee to the breakers and pick up a new wheel and forks.

Congratulations on still being with us.

So what you are saying iis that you failed to spot the give way sign/markings.

was it an unmarked crossroads, as i understand nobody has right of way, but you must approach at caution and check both directions before proceeding.........
