Totally my fault. Totally avoidable. Bike injured. Body Sore. Wallet empty. Pride hurt!
I hope you didn't hurt anything too badly.
Take care man. Its good that you were fully geared.
Just to clarify, the road where you were waiting for green light seemed to be wide enough for two lanes but the road on the left was only single lane? I am trying to understand why that car surprised you.
It looked like the Audi made a wider turn than it was supposed to(?). But yeah, I would agree it was mostly unavoidable. Glad it was minor injuries, but my heart would definitely also cry if what happened to your bike happened to mine.
Its a really shitty road as far as design goes. The traffic lights where i was waiting is actually 3 lanes, with a lane to the left of the white car. It turns onto the roundabout which is also 3 lanes but only looks like it has room for 2 if you take into account the hatch markings. I was new to the road so i assumed the hatch markings were guiding me, being the furthest over and nearest to them, into my lane but common practice on that road seems to be to go over the hatching if youre in my lane. Heres a picture to show the aerial view.

That's a crappy road design...
That's such a shitty and confusing design esp when someone is there for the first time. You should sue the road works department for millions
Anyways, its plain bad luck. Hope you will be back on the road soon!
I'd like to promote this fella if you don't mind
I like the cock up videos where it's well, just a cock and you're not blaming everyone and anyone except yourself. I'm guessing you were 50/50 really. No real point in passing blame
Shit happens. You dealt with it well
