My poor little arse (now with pics)

[MC]

Going into work this morning, traffic queueing to go straight ahead, I go to the right of the lane as I'm going to turn right in about 50 metres(?). Van parked up to the left of the cars decides to do a uturn, I brake (& and apparently swerve), as I'm reaching for the horn he keeps coming & bam.

I did a full flip over the handle bars & landed on my ar$e. People come running over, tell me not to move, eventually an ambulance arrives & I'm able to walk into it. They then strap me to a spinal board so I'll get seen quicker, in hospital they cut off my clothes, bit embarrassing as I wasn't wearing my best pair of undies

Everything OK, get discharged, just got a really really sore ar$e bone (believe the technical term's a coccyx ). Hobble out, kinda regretting I'd said no to pain relief, got the bus home. Right now I'm trying to find a position that takes the pressure of my ar$e, a seemingly impossible task.

So yeah, inb4 poor obs, inb4 Paddy... f**k off Pics & paint diagram to follow, bikes still at the scene so don't wanna advertise the location.

Tl:dr Transit pulled out in front of me, did a Jacky chan over the bars, not dead or potato'd.

Congrats on not dying. Did the police Attend? Did you get the driver's details and did they admit liability?

[Az]

It's good that you're not too hurt . How's the bike and do you know if witnesses details were taken?

[map]

Glad you're ok.
Now the big question, how's the bike? In ICU or gone to the breakers in the sky?

With painkillers get the max you can. GP can dish out Co-Codamol 30/500. Ask for a dose of anti-inflammatory meds, e.g. ibrofen. Take then together, one for pain the other to reduce swelling (so reduce pain too).

Get well soon. Await PM offers to check your arse.

If you can get a script for DF118s or some decent strength codeine and find you don't actually need it after all, PM me.

A doctor's already been up there I'm afraid Got a slip from the police, they were talking to witnesses (didn't see the driver), also got the paramedic to take some pics on my phone. Bike from the pics looks pretty f**ked, forks bent, headlight smashed, apparently rear brake pedal's bent & it was leaking fuel. Checked MID & at least the guys insured this time

Bad luck mate hopefully the bikes repairable

Driver seem to be playing innocent at the time or was he accepting he messed up?

[MC]

He seemed to be hiding at the time, didn't talk to him or hear police talk to him. IMO it's 100% his fault, I wasn't going at kitten murdering speed (was actually being good for a change), whether or not insurers will contest it was too early to start filtering for my turning is what worries me. Oh & the bike just sitting there for whoever wants it.

Insurance sorting it for you?

[Rogerborg]

Ouch. Didn't you just get that MT-03? That must have been some impact to throw you over the bars from the standard riding position.

Hope it works out for you. Usual stuff, decent ambulance chaser, don't accept any quick offers until you know whether your back door has been permanently smashed in.

Not rang insurance yet, my ar$e is hurting enough as it's. Yeah had the bike 6 weeks Wasn't going that quickly, hard to estimate as I slowed for the queuing cars, accelerated a little bit, then braked (so I guess 20ish).

Also getting paranoid, think the guy was local as a passerby went "oh its you *****". If the bike was to vanish does that mean the claim goes to my insurance?

I hope you apologised for denting the poor blokes van...

Saw you'd added pics so I clicked on this thread in the hope of seeing your cocc, cox, cok.....bottom. Frankly, I feel cheated.

However, glad you're not too battered, but be careful, a bruised tailbone takes a while to heal.

Otherwise. GWS.

For your parking ticket.

Shame about your bike but, I'm glad you're relatively okay.

As for your coccyx, it could take a fair while before it gets back to normal. It took the best part of eighteen months for mine to get to the point of being pain free, after my crash.

The only advice I can give is decent analgesia and anti-imflamitaries, such as co-codamol 30/500's and Diclofenac, as already suggested by other posters. Also, try not to sit on any hard or even firm(ish) surfaces,. In fact the softer and more padding the better. Riding a bike could prove tricky for a while. I used to have to anticipate bumps in the road and support my weight through my feet on the pegs. That was in a sportsbike position, the more upright you are, the worse it'll be I'm afraid.

Sorry to hear about the incident, also from that photo is it me or does that Tyre look flat/serious need of pumping. If so would it work on your side/vehicle unsuitable for driving. The van's obviously not the bikes before any sarky comments.
