BumbleBee Broke
«

Poor old BumbleBee (ST4) has had a wee tumble yesterday, and its looking a little sad at the moment.
It all happened yesterday at aroung midday, I was on my way to work for a OH&S meeting (ironic that eh ?) so I turn left out of my driveway then right onto the road with no name, then left onto Illawarra Rd, approach the crossroads just before the main road at which I have giveway sign to go through, at this particular intersection there is a large shrub which conceals part of the road on my left, so much so that you have to enter the intersection to see if there is any traffic coming. So I rolled through, and yes there was a ute that was approaching at quite a clip, I braked, but realised that he was going to hit me amid ships, so I gunned it he was braking pretty hard and at the last moment he steered his vehicle to the left, as he did he hit the back left pannier, which punted me into the gutter on the other side of the road.
This left the bike facing the wrong way with me somehow laid on top of it with my back in the gutter. OK, I'm laying there and going through a few body checks as I loosen my helmet, I was going to take it off but decided against it, so everything seemed to be in the right places, but lots of pain in the left foot and right upper leg both felt broken. The guy in the car was excellant he phoned for the ambo's and stayed with me.
The upshot of all this is that nothing is broken just badly bruised, and I cannot walk very well at the moment, so coffee for me is out tonight guys

Not good Mick, sounds a bit nasty.
Sounds like you will heal up OK, how is the bumblebee? Likely to effect your re-build options?

Thanks, I will have to get BumbleBee assessed and I'm not sure about Frasers, maybe Flywheels,or if anyone knows anyone. My eldest boy rode it home and he said that it would'nt track straight.

Sorry to hear that Mick, but very glad and relieved that you are not sporting any broken body bits. I was already cringing at the thought of broken leg in multiple places.
Take care and I hope you heal up quickly.
+1 - glad to hear that the guy stopped and helped.

Sorry to here of your "off" mick. Hope for a speedy recovery for both you and bumblebee.
as bazz suggested maybe some roundup for the shrub, or better stihl (My chainsaw happened to fall off the back of my ute officer while going)

Sorry to hear that Mick.
As everyone has said glad to know that you are okay aside from bruising to the lower limbs.
I'd say take it to Flywheels for assessing.
Hope your injuries heal quickly.
