Fecking Black Ice A morning in casualty, a knee the size of a football, a lovely coloured thigh and hip and a knackered bike
Don't know what state the bike's in going to get some pics tomorrow before the insurance move it from the recovery place

Sorry to hear you put the bike down, but glad you weren't hurt more seriously. Black ice is why I'm sometimes hesitant to ride this time of year, especially riding to work in very early morning. Hope things don't turn out too badly with your knee and the bike.

Sorry to hear that bud... Hope you're ok!

Sorry to hear you had a tumble & that both you & your bike have been injured . Hope it's just bruises & you recover soon.

I SORNed my bike at the end of November because this time last year the weather was so bad I didn't use it. I have been regretting it because it's been so mild here, but it just takes one little bit of ice...........

AWW man, hope you heal OK

KAK stuff black ice

Radiator bent, dented tank, handle-bars goosed, brake pedal and foot-peg destroyed as well as other scrapes and grindings

That's at least fixable. Glad you're ok. Hope the insurance companies don't yank you around too much. And at least you're not out a bike during fabulous summer riding.

One reason why im glad when winter hits, at least it snows. I'd be tempted if I only saw frost out there.

How is the knee doing ?

i don't see a engine guard, that would have helped. it did on mine right after i bought it.

That's rough buddy. I hope you're doing much better by now though. Any progress on the insurance situation?
