got knocked off bike tonight

[Tharg2007]

Had a old guy turn into me tonight, mashed my bike up, ended up on bonnet then rolled off. I'm ok so far. Police called all logged and driver admitted responsibility and breathalysed (passed that) Was hit suare on from the side.

Happened on stretford road just where the hulme arch is

here is an illustration:

Ouch, nasty. B)
Rest up, make sure your OK, and here's a virtual tea and ginger nut from me.

Was it dark? The oldies don't cope so well in those conditions. Last time I was with my dad in his car I was wondering if he was struggling to see. I need to keep an eye on him and say something if It looks like that's happening. Not looking forward to that conversation.

it was dark, happened about 5:20pm had lights on me, bright yellow jacket. I reckon he did have trouble seeing tbh

Ouch my sympathies mate, lets hope you initial self diagnosis continues.

 

[Crackle]

Glad you came out OK. Bet you'll be stiff tomorrow.

 

[Tharg2007]

not sure i will be stiff, seemed to be quite relaxed when i was hit, it kind of rolled me onto the bonnet so when I rolled off i kind of flopped off.

 

[ianrauk]

sounds like you were lucky mate. If either of you had been going faster.....
Glad your ok.

I think the driver that knocked you off should visit this website...not sure what he was thinking but it would worry me. Glad your ok though!

 

[fossyant]

Ouch...glad you are OK......

PS I'm not lending you my Ribble....... :?:

Glad you're not too mashed up. Have you started browsing for a new steed yet?

As an aside, when I first started seeing my girlfriend she was living in Manchester and often went along there. It took me a little while to twig that she didn't actually have a friend living round there called Hugh March...:?:

Glad you're ok, hope you're not too bad tomorrow.

Is the bike a write off? :?:

 

[magnatom]

Mate that is nasty! Take it easy, make sure you'e talked to legals, go see a doc if you haven't and most importantly have glass of something alchoholic.

There have been too many offs recently. :?:

 

[clarion]

Crikey! That was nasty. Glad you're not too badly hurt.

 

[Joe]

Ouch! Glad you came off ok.
I had a car turn right across me like that earlier this year and I was dead paranoid about it happening again for a few days after. Got my confidence back in time though.
Treat yourself to a new bike :?:

There is nothing off the peg that takes my fancy, I built the bike up myself so will be wanting to do the same again. Might be that just the wheel is knackered but think i might not risk the forks as they are carbon.
took a pic right after too
