    Hope you get it all sorted soon. It is a sad shame there are idiots on the road that just dont care especially when in control of such a heavy thing as a truck. Glad you are ok. All the best for a speedy recovery and back on the road soon 8-) 8-).
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Soft tissue damage to knee means injury. Surely you should inform police.

    Thought it was a crime not to inform police of an injury accident - especially for him..

    Oh Karen, I'm glad you're ok, if a bit shaken. I'm sick and tired of the knobs we have to deal with these days. City riding isn't a pleasure anymore. I used to enjoy leaving all the suckers in the queue as I filtered past. These days, they're all out to get you/haven't seen you/busy on the mobile phone/can't be arsed to indicate/too busy shipping drugs/chatting with their mates in the car/fleeing a crime scene/unaware there's a world beyond the end of their bonnet... >

    Sorry to hear about all the hassle, but the main thing is that you are (mainly) intact.

    Yes the driver was English, driving a truck for a Somerset haulage firm.

    I am very happy that I got up and walked away from it... tbh I was more upset about the damage to my bike than to my knee - I wept as I got down on the road to retrieve my footpeg that had sheared off, along with my clutch lever and mirror :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

    To see my lovely shiny new bike that I was so proud of, lying in the road in bits was just too much for me :'( :'( :'(

    Insurance will hopefully ensure that it's mended and back with me soon. I have a loaner bike arriving on Saturday morning and I need to ensure I get straight back in the saddle, even if it means I have my knee strapped up!
