You're haunted....I did this damage at 30mph with all Dianesse protective gear on. Was out of work for nearly 3 months.
is that bruising on your legs? how did that happen?

Bruising on the whole leg top to bottom. Happened in June and the knee is still swollen and filled with hot stinging fluid. Had it drained by injection about 6 times, had 5 steriod injections in the knee and i'm still swallowing anti-inflamatries for the last 7 months.
Some twat lost his rubbish load off his trailer in the middle of the road....about 5 bags of it in total. There was huge 2 foot metal canisters in some the bag. I was behind about 4 cars so my vision was impaired up ahead as to what was coming. Every car drove over the rubbish because in was in the middle of the road and didn't really effect them. No hazzards or warnings from the cagers ahead. Hadn't a ghost of a chance of avoiding them when they appeared from under the last car in front of me. The front stepped out and I belly splashed straight onto the tarmac like the wrestlers King Kong Bundy and Big Daddy. Cudn't find who was responsible & insurance will only cover bike damage. My injuries & expenses has costed me about two grand to date. But I guess one can be thankful that i'm above ground and still breathing.

that was unluckly lad. fierce looking bruising. think that's probably happened to everyone at least once where something pops out from under a car that you weren't expecting and all you have time to do is say to yourself oh fook! and then wack
