In plaster

[palinurus]

Dirty great pothole full of water. Bollocks.

Cut my eye and broke some bones in my hand. Thankfully bike and I were given a ride home by following driver who had some proper first aid gear. Just back from A&E, off to the Royal Free tomorrow to get the hand looked at.

Worst thing is antibiotics. I want a beer.

 

[palinurus]

Bike doesn't appear to be more than scuffed up a little more.

 

[ianrauk]

ouch.. sorry to hear this. Heal well and quick fella.

 

[potsy]

Ah bad luck palinurus, heal fast

 

[HLaB]

Ouch not Good :-( Heal fast!

 

[Ern1e]

Och I bet you said worse than that ! I did hear of some one sueing the local council for a thing simular to yours,belive they got £5 grand out of them maybe worth a try perhaps pain and suffering etc ?

 

[palinurus]

Already made contact w/ CTC.

Need to photograph the damn hole, tricky without being able to ride tho'.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Oh no!
Glad you got home safe, hope your night is as restful as it can be.

 

[palinurus]

perhaps pain and suffering etc ?

Not getting my Friday beer has got to be worth a sizeable sum.

 

[User33236]

Ouch. Hope you mend quickly.

I reported a close one with a huge pothole to my council 10 days ago. They 'fixed' it the day after. Reported again this evening as it has collapsed again already.

 

[fossyant]

Holy moly.

Just saw the hole I hit a couple of weeks ago, it's been badly filled but was over two feet in size. Brand new wheels did OK despite the snake bite.

Hope you are OK

 

[50000tears]

Wow get well soon. Hope that CTC can help you get this sorted without too much fuss.

 

[welsh dragon]

Oh dear. Not good. Get well soon.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Sugar!!
Best wishes of a fast recovery @palinurus

 

[slowmotion]

Oh dear. Riding through puddles is a nightmare right now. You never know what lies below the surface.

All the best.
