Yeah....what it says above really.
Coming out of work, about 15mph, and I slid on some loose gravel. The bike went over, and landed on my left leg.
The bike has a bent gear shifter, and a cracked mirror and indicator, but otherwise is ok, my leg took the damage.
However, my leg hasn't come off so well, and I've been left barely able to walk. The whole weight of the bike, with a full tank of petrol landed on my leg (about 165kg) I couldn't even get the bike off my leg, and needed help from a chap on an F800GS to get it off.
I bodged the bike to get home, but I've been left barely able to walk, my leg has swollen right up, and is possibly the worst pain I've ever been in.
Needless to say, I really don't know if I can make the Brighton Burn Up on Sunday. Even if the bike is fixed, I've got to be 100% fit to deal with the amount of miles I'd be doing. Massive apologies to anyone expecting me there, especially Extreme601, Curly, and The Female Biker, whom I was supposed to be meeting.
On a sidenote, I'm having doubts about whether biking is where I want to be right now. I had a Police bikesafe course on Sunday, and the instructor said that I was an accident waiting to happen, and now 2 days later I do this. Maybe I'm being melodramatic, but I saw my familys faces as I got home, after ringing to say I'd crashed and hurt myself. I don't know.
On a parting note, I'll say this,
WATCH OUT FPR THE FECKING GRAVEL
