Came off and fucked my bike

I'm coming from the right, going towards the red star (my line isn't curved properly but w/e)

Anyway, it's the middle of a thunder storm, as soon as I crossed the arrow the bike went out from under me. Completely my fault, I read those get lethal when wet.

Damage to me : Small cut on my knee, bruise on my hand, ankle twisted.

Damage to bike : Bent forks & handlebars, cracked fairing, bent footrest, scratched everything. Still rode the cunt home though.

Funniest part of this whole thing? I'd just been shopping, didn't crack a single egg!

Bad luck mate.

I guess you'll take extra care going over road markings (and drain covers) from now on in the wet.

So, is your bike repairable or is it a case of selling it for parts and getting a new one?

Looks like you've had a bit of luck that nothing else hit you at a junction like that though.

GWS and I hope you've got some analgesia in at home, cause you'll be hurting a whole lot more tomorrow than you are now.

What did you have for tea?

[-Matt-]

Ouch bad luck

Weather was absolutely atrocious here today didn't dare go out on the bike myself. Look like an arse of a road to get around as it is let alone tons of wet-lines

Ankle a down the hospital job or just a little sprain

[AaronCooper]

None of the injuries are anything serious, infact I think the bike will be alright too.

Just had my uncle come round and have a look at it, he said the forks/handlebars weren't bent, the front just went out of alignment. He put it all back straight now.

So overall, looks like it'll be minimal repair costs, minimal damage. Got off lucky I guess.

At least now you have some scratches that you can tell a wild story about whenever someone asks about them win over the ladies

You do realise you were in the wrong lane to then take the far left lane at the lights, it would've meant you could have taken a gentler line around...

anyway it's good that you and the eggs are alright.

[ShepShep]

is that the roundabout near fossepark? its a bastard at the best of times with all the crazy traffic pulling out.

Could have been worse, glad your ok

[Hefty]

Mate that looks like one of the worst places in the country to come off..
Glad your alright and damage to the bike is minimal, looks like it could have been a lot worse, given the weather.

[Kura]

Glad to hear bike and rider are healing up all right. That is a gnarly place to sit down on the road.

I still want to know that as well... Sausages and boiled eggs I'm guesing.

Glad to hear you are recovering well.

How common are these off's? I'm freaked out by them and they making me reconsider whether biking is for me.

^^^this! Had I not had my gear on when the smarmy twat in the X5 pulled out it would have hurt. Too wet to hoon. But yeah, road sense, good obs and good gear will always stack the cards in your favour.
