Really sorry to hear this, but glad you're relatively OK.

Just an update. Been down to see Rocket in the hosptial tonight and glad to say he seems well and we had a right old natter although I do wish it had been in better circumstances. I left him set up in bed, in good spirits, laughing and the prognosis is a full recovery which is very good to here.

Holy shit.

Glad to hear you're in good spirits mate. Feel for you.

Heal quick matey

Had a bed bath yet

I did offer him one last night but sadly he declined ........

That was not a bath you offered.

No bed bath yet just waiting on the right nurse to turn up.

Someone woke the ward loon up at 7 this morning ranting and raving taking gibberish. He had a bang on the head if I could have got out of bed in time I would have given him another. He was being very rude to the nurses. Understand that he's not well but he was smacking the desk and being very abusive. Given me a small Insite to what the nurses have to put up with. With regards to the nhs/police they have all been very good air ambulance of cause fantastic and reassuring doctors and nurses that have taken care of me so far I've been impressed.

Anyway, enough about you, how's the bike?

Lol it's a write off for sure, oil was on the floor so guessing it's gone through the casing it smashed off the kerb so It won't be great but could be my new track bike.

How long you gonna be in the hosi? dont forget posting photos of nurses to keep you occupied always helps lol

Coming out this morning they said even though I banged my head they had a look and there's nothing in there to damage so there letting me go.

Sweet

Council might think different as it took a big junk out of that huge kerb in the layby.

So went over to Buxton to pick the bike up today and here it is. When we got it out the van my mates were all making jokes until they saw the bike and there was an eerie silence moment then the piss takes started again.







They also had my leathers will take some photos and post them up.

The front wheel is buckled its hit so hard its snapped a spoke and made it like a triangle. The engine casing on the right hand side is smashed but its the top one so there's a chance the engine is not lunched. The bike looks straight and even the forks look OK. Will ring the insurance company up tomorrow and see what they say,

You've done a proper job there. Well done.

There going to write it off but does anyone know . When they write it off can i buy it back if its a cat b ??? I know it can not be out back on the road.

I doubt they'll brand that a Cat B if the frame is ok.

I think Cat B write offs can only be sold to registered breakers.

After seeing it only a few weeks ago in pristine condition that looks proper sad.
