Ouch Gaz, hope you're feeling better soon! Can't believe your bad luck. Make sure you get back on the bike ASAP once you're feeling better - don't let that stupid WVM put you off.
Get well soon mate, wishing you a speedy recovery.

agree with that.
sorry to those i offended or those who felt i was being judgemental. Genuinly wasn't what i intended to do.
Main thing is i hope the OP is much better this morning, and things proceed with the claim smoothly and he gets a new bike sorted asap.

Sometimes tone and intention don't come across in text, misunderstandings happen. Maybe we should colour code for sarcasm, irony etc.
Hope you're feeling better this morning Gaz, try not to let it get you down, do you have family around?
and remember you're this guy

You logged whilst lying on the kitchen floor? That's commitment!!
Hope you're OK soon, keep us update when you get the chance, between blackouts.

Yikes - looks almost a carbon copy of my SMIDSY yesterday (except that there was a car as per your diagram in the blog and it was a dozy bint in a Gold TDi pulling across in front of me)... however, the vital difference is that she didn't hit me, I hit her after a short, sharp skidding session and got away with just some bruising.
The idiot driver needs the book throwing at him, hopefully your camera evidence will help any prosecution that the Police wish to pursue for him lying to them about how/what happened. Muppet!
Glad to hear you're still here.
Get well soon.

Gaz, sorry to hear about you passing out, chances are there is nothing serious but its best to get checked out!
I was thinking, you said you seemed a bit shook up by the whole thing, I would be happy to come out for a social ride somewhere while you build up your confidence etc. Im sure a good few of the other manchester guys would also be happy to do the same!

The bike isn't going to be very safe IMO to ride and you don't want to risk further injury.
I'd also have no doubts about claiming for a whole new bike.
Why do WVM drive like dickheads - I had one pass me the ohter day at speed and it must have missed me by 10cm max - made me whobble like mad it was so close and I was doing 20+mph at the time too.
