Title: Boomer down again
Post by: Boomer on June 28, 2017, 12:12:43 AM
Had a truck turn right in front of me from the left lane with no indicators.
Was on the GTR1000 which is broken again.
I have extensive bruising and a separated AC joint on my right shoulder.
Am now officially bored of being in pain because of incompetent f***wits being allowed to drive.
Truck driver is being prosecuted (had a witness) but i am the one who gets to endure the pain and hassle.
Sorry to say that I will not now being attending the meet in Yorkshire.
Be safe out there my friends.

Glad you're 'ok'.  Heck, I was in my truck today and nearly got pushed into a barrier by an old lady that didn't want to hear my horn. :gun_bandana:

George, hope you mend quickly, at least you had a witness, it's good that they stopped to offer their assistance and provide an account to the  :police: .


Take care, Steve.

Some drivers...  :censored: :gun_bandana: :2guns:

Glad you managed to walk away from it. Bike vs Truck often doesn't end well.

I can sympathise about your shoulder. After a bad off on a mountain bike (a few years ago now) I ended up like Quasimodo. I ended up having surgery to bolt the shoulder-end of my collarbone back down into place. It's still not right, after all these years...

Cheers
