If the bike's going over best just let it go or you risk really hurting yourself trying to catch it... Might be an idea to use the side stand next time, though you've no doubt figured that out for yourself. Get the knee elevated and put an ice pack on it to reduce the swelling. If it still really hurts tomorrow, go to the doctor. If you go to A&E be prepared to wait around for ages and be told "it's soft tissue damage" >:(

Hehehe...I just tip sideways with mine hehe.....I think 80% of people on here have seen me go over at least once....I just chalk it up....double figures now hehe....only thing ive ever suffered is a rather damaged foot last year which occasionally gives me gip even now ...but I have been rather lucky the only thing I hurt is my pride.....but Im so used to it now even that has toughened up hehehe
