Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > Got Knocked off today

[Mr C]

A young lad in a Pug 206 decided to turn right in to me. I went straight over his bonnet and flying though the air. Was doing between 20-25 mph as id slowed slighty cause of the car turning right infront of me and the car waiting to pull out of the side road.
This Pug just came from no where, he hadnt had been stopped waiting he was going to quick to have just set off. Left me know where to go.
Good new is I am ok thought id broken my leg at first. I've not seen the condition of the bike but my mate was driving past as they were haulingher away. He noticed the handle bar was snapped and not much Fairing left.


Heres my little pic of what happen

Bad luck mate, you'll be sore tomorrow, mind you on the other hand you where probably very lucky, go and put a quid on the lottery.

mate, make sure you get him bang to rights on this, onus is on him to make sure it's clear to turn across traffic .....

glad you are ok .. thats the most important bit ...

[jobr]

Sorry to hear about your off. Hope that tomorrow you are not to sore and that the bike isn't too badly damaged and that you are both back out and about quickly.

[Mr C]

I just know tomorrow im going to be Black Blue Yellow Green. I do feel very lucky, The lad must have got a shock too. Anyway feel tired now so going to hobble my way to the couch and let my GF pamper her brave Soldier

You poor bugger!

Hope you're not too bad but you should be thinking about getting yourself checked out. If you're a soldier get down to the unit RAP/base hospital and get looked at. You might need it for court or whatever if the young lad's insurance company says you were doing 100 mph etc etc..

Take it easy Mr C.

Oh, in that case get a hundred beers into you and chill out all weekend.

Dr TP prescribes plenty of watching of the BSB and MotoGP qualifying and racing. Now that's an order!
