I had a bit of an 'off' today

[WAVman]

I hit a pothole dropping downhill into a village, about 20mph.

I couldn't correct the bike and ended up in a VERY prickly hedge.

I was very lucky I guess, I could have landed in the road, or instead of the hedge there could have been a wall or fence.

I'm ok, bike surprisingly ok, a very kind motorist stopped, helped me out and provided baby wipes to clean me up.

I have a lot of prickly hedge scratches though!

looks like you are being a bit over dramatic.

If you fell off then you weren't going fast enough

[mickyh7]

You fell off because of those 1980's socks!

No pics of the pothole?


Hmmm . . .

I’m sorry but when I click an “I had a bit of an off” thread I expect some ‘stiff upper lip’ character has caused massive carnage and is being stiff upper lip about it. You’ve literally had a bit of an off. It’s not threadworthy.

Looks like the bike is a write-off, what are you going to replace it with?

[Evanivitch]

Have you reported the pot hole that wronged you?

PH is a harsh place sometimes

Piss take surely? I’ve seen bigger shaving cuts

[Strudul]

If you can pose next to the pothole and make a sad face you could sell this story to Daily Mail and get some money to help with your recovery.

I'm with you, calling off sucks, 5 weeks off the bike so far after breaking my right collar bone.

Heal up and get back out there.
