Hi all
Just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for all the advice i have over the years.
As the title suggests last friday whilst riding through Solihull a private hire taxi driver decided to cross from the other side of dual carriageway into the right side of my bike, at the time i was at 30mph and did not have any time to brake this sent the bike over and into a lampost throwing me over the handle bars and into the wall of Argos.
Resulting in a 4 day stay in hospital a fractured right knee, fractured right foot and a very badly bruised left elbow, all things considered i have got of very lightly because if the lampost was not there the bike and myself would have gone straight into the wall head first..............
Hopefully the taxi driver will be prosecuted by the police.
However i know i have several months of healing in front but i am now not sure if i will ever be mentally able to get back to riding as i keep getting flash backs to the accident.
Has anyone been through a similar experience with flash backs and if so how did you deal with them?
Cheers all
