That stung a bit 😊

Glad your recovering well?
Can we have pictures of the written off bike please to marvel at the damage the scooter has done?

Lord that's a shocker glad you're on the road to recovery. GWS

That sounds terrible - good luck with the recovery and at least you have the peace of mind that the rider got collared and the financial side is all in hand. I suspect you'll see a far personal injury payout considering!

You made me cry.... again😊
Its going to my Specialized bike mechanic to wait inspection from his insurers. He says it is usually best to replace the bike. But he will try and keep mine so I can have it for spares. Its in my garage and have not got down to see it yet. I will let him decide the best way forward so I dont need advice on that.

Man that is crazy. Hope you are back in the saddle soon.

You know I go away for a mini seaside break in Northumberland.And all I ask is be careful while I am away.And what do you do,I can't leave you for a moment can i.Well if you think that hurts ,just wait till I get home.

 

[Salar]

That's awful, get well soon.

 

[I like Skol]

Glad you are in good spirits and hope you manage to keep it up. Could have been a lot worse.

Hope you managed to give the a'hole drunk driver a good kicking with your working leg before the police carted him off.

GWS, onwards and upwards, start looking at new bikes now. I was looking within 48hrs when I got knocked off and received a broken neck and fractured skull

GWS, as an aside are scooter allowed to use cycleways over there, or was he being a complete dickwad?

Nothing that a bit of super glue and some tape can't fix there.
Only imo of course

Dreadful just reading about it, never mind going through it.

Jesus H! Horrible horrible horrible. You seem to have dealt with it in your mind, and that's what matters - bodies take care of themselves (as you're proving) and bikes can be replaced. Special for getting up the bank with a broken leg. You're obviously well'ard! (I'm sure you will) GWS.

 

[snorri]

What a shocker!
My best wishes for a full recovery Steve.

Jeez that's horrific, GWS Steve.
