Knocked off the bike today

[ELIMINATOR]

Some thingy drove into the back of me & my BMW 1150GS at about 30mph on a roundabout this morning.

Ambulance, police, hospital.

Muscle damage to right shoulder and left lower back.

My pride and joy looks sick. crash bars, rockerbox cover, indicator, spotlight. crashbars have hit the petrol tank.

More concerned the front and back mudguards now look off set. Got it in my head that something is twisted. Had another look, bike won't start!

Carole Nash and their legal service already on the case.

My mobility is compromised, back is agony after sitting a while and trying to move.

Damn the bad luck.
Take care!

Crap!  Glad you're around to tell the tale!  

Sounds like everything can be repaired - rider and bike both (probably quicker and easier to fix the bike!).

No start issue - do those BMWs have a tip over switch?  Could be stuck after the spill.  


Good luck and speedy recovery

Sorry to read this.  Hope you get better quickly.

ah crap.  Get well soon.

[ELIMINATOR]

Someone who had moved the bike, had turned the kill switch off. But, when trying to start it sounds awful.

[simi_ed]

Ouch, that doesn't sound like fun.  Sorry to hear, rest & recover soon.

[Dan Filetti]

That sucks, hope you're feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear the news mate get well soon and good luck with the bike, were you insured?

[flips]

That really sucks 
Having your pride & joy ruined is bad enough but it can be fixed/replaced.Having a stuffed back is worse  . I hope you make a full recovery and Carole Nash take em to the cleaners!

Cheers

Man, I sure hope you get better quick - what with summer coming on there in the UK - its riding time not R & R time.

Ditto for the bike..... hope the frames not too badly bent.

[DB Cooper]

That really sucks. I know it's hard not to worry about the bike, but concentrate on yourself first.

FJ11.5, I like the way you think!

[FJmonkey]

Wow! Heal fast and properly so you can ride again...

[racerman_27410]

Sorry to hear the news..... I am always paranoid about the idiots we have the share the road with for this exact reason. I swear i look behind me more than i do in front of me whenever i'm riding in town.

Bikes can be repaired/replaced...not so easy with a friend..... take care and heal well mate 


Kookaloo!
