Never thought I'd say this, but Biker Down

And it bloody hurts.
My bike is totaled, :crying: and I’m battered, bruised but unbowed. Thank god for decent leathers, and my ‘Bullet Proof’ jeans, which didnt rip at all, and I’m glad I had the added hip armour in them.

Was on the Nth Circ, Luckily not going too fast :Whistling:, and a car pulled out, as I rolled down the road, thinking, ok, no serious pain yet, I stopped, I lay in the road, and then the driver came up uttering those immortal words “Sorry mate I didn’t see you” :angry:

Both thumb’s are sprained methinks, my hip is the size of a football, and my shoulder is beginning to ache like a mo fo.

Thanks to me_groovy who came and made sure I was ok and thanks groovy for offering me a lift back, but the nice policemen helped there.

Now all the fun of the insurance merry-go-round :blink:

Where on the North Circ, as the jam on the A41 for the North Circ exit was back to Swiss Cottage at 17.30 today.

Glad you are just battered, and nothing worse.

Good luck with the insurance, at least the bike can be replaced, you can’t.

Sorry to hear this but very glad you’re not badly hurt. Good luck with the insurance claim. Am I right in thinking you were on one of the B-Kings on Jetstream’s Sammy Miller rideout?
