    Ouch - You'll have to excuse me, I'm still in shock.

    Basically my bike was running out of fuel - so I went to pull over in a layby to have a rest and put myself on to reserve, I wasn't too far away, I must have come too fast into the layby which was a ****e mix of hard concerete and gravel, I lost it and the bike fell on it's side with me on it, I was so shocked and dazed that I couldn't move - I was so lucky that the car that was behind me saw me and turned around a pulled over and helped me pick the bike up and sit with me - and also lent me the use of there phone - as I'd left the house without mine.

    I now feel extremely sad, and to be honest I was more worried about my bike & leathers than myself. I'm off to A&E in a minute as I have an extremely painful sausage finger. Apart from that just a few bumps bruises and aches.

    Bike is bumped Dent in the tank - smooshed left hand indicator and lots of scuffs down the left hand side :'( My poor Mork.

    The hardest bit was riding home with just one finger on my right hand, but I didnt want to leave my bike, I don't really know how I managed to get home as I feel numb and sore, but I did.

    Big Thank you to the family that stopped - if it wasn't for them I'd still be laying on the layby sobbing my heart out.

    Oh, and it was opposite a pub - and guess what - they all stared out the window and no ****er came and helped.

    Sorry to hear that. Hope you mend quick. You're right to go & get yourself checked out. Bike can be easily mended. We're all more important than the bikes!

    Well - I've just come back from RUH, as Chippenham X-ray was broken (joy).

    I have broked my finger - and I will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. Was wicked bad x-ray.

    What an eventful evening, I'm now very hungry - and still very sore.

    Ho hum.

    I've just got up - couldn't sleep - my knees are so sore - my finger too - wasn't able to get painkillers last night as everywhere was shut.

    If anyone knows where I can get parts second hand - that would be a great help.
