I just got knocked off by a car.

Are you and the bike in working order? *presuming you were on the bike*
I wish you a speedy recovery

I think I'm fine. No visiable signs of damage to me or the bike. Have a feeling that my shoulder and arm is going to ache tomorrow though, and most likley will bruise as I went down pretty hard.

 

[Arch]

yebbut, how's the bike!?

Hope you're ok.

Glad to hear you're OK, was it an accident or a hitman? because someone might want their money back

So much was going through my head I didn't get a registration numer. I do however have a phone number for a witness and he said feel free to contact him. He also informed me that the pub just by the roundabout has cctv that points that way so it should all be on film should I need it!

Rider up again clearly, and that's really all that matters when all that's said & done. Hard luck, glad you're ok. Weebles wobble but they don't stay down.

Mini roundabout. I am to the right of her and so I have right of way. The roundabout is clear, and I see that well in advance so I don't bother breaking so enter roundabout at circa 15 mph. Dippy bint comes in from the left, there is an empty car park between the roads and they come in at close angles so she had plenty of time to see me, but she didn't due to the winter sun at low angles apparently (excuses excuses). She entered the roundabout whihc really is mini and so not much room for avoiding people etc. I have the right of way, like I said, so I go round the round about until I notice out of the corner of my eyte this car. I hoped that she was going straight on so I could just brake and merge in behind her, but instead she carried on going round the roundabout. At this time I had noticed I was going to hit her, and so turned the bars sharply and slammed on the brakes in order to try and ride parrallel to her in the same direction. This didn't work and I impacted the silver Vauxhall Astra on the rear quarter, luckily I think I had let go at the point so just the side of my drops hit her car. I then proceeded to get flung off my bike, and thankfully, performed my two or three barrel rolls behind the car not under it. Brought the round-about to a stand still, and she did get out to check I was ok, which I think I am, so I jumped up checked me and checked the bike, and at this point I was fine. I walked over to the pavement, and lots of people shouted from cars to check I was OK,. It was not until I got on the pavement that I realised how lucky I was and that I could be dead right now. THis is when the shaking started. Lucky escape. Be careful out there guys with this winter sun!
