Hey everyone. just to let people know what happend to me last night(its easier than lots of PM's). I'm OK, well apart from the spuashed disc in my baack and a few scrapes and a broken set of carbon forks.
What happened? I had a woman pull across from the other side of the road, to get into her driveway as I was doing about 22mph(I had a speedo on). I managed to grab a fist full of brake as I hit the side of her but it was just to late. I ended up going straight up and then straight down onto the road beind her lovely people carrier. I then spent half anhour laying in the road and had many people stop to help( there are a lot of docters walking around Wandsworth) and redirect traffic around me.
After a quick trip to St Georges and a few X-rays the only thing wrong with me is my 4th disc in my lower back that is half the size it should be. The docter said that it will be OK. I just need to rest for a few days.
Thanks to everyone who have already sent me messages to get well and I'd like to thank the ladies in the ambulance and all the people who stopped to help me.
I should be back on the bike soon, I have a spare set of forks I can wack on for now. So I'll see you all soon.
Cheers Hillbilly.
