[QUOTE="Jock, post: 201819, member: 21052"] It's mostly done and dusted - he's admitted 100% liability according to the insurance. To be honest, I think he got a bigger fright then I did - I was conscious of what was happening all the time - I think the first he knew of it was when my hand whacked his bonnet! Nobody stopped as far as witnesses goes - and there were lots. I had to catch a passing cyclist to get them to help lift the bike off me! Fortunately, the first thing I did (before the pain set in) was get my camera out and take lots of pictures! If nothing else, it's taught me one thing and that's NEVER GO OUT ON THE BIKE WITHOUT DECENT GEAR. If I'd been wearing light gear or even shorter boots, the least the would have happened is I'd only have one leg - more likely I"d be dead because he'd have run over my stomach. In the hospital they did say my "rotund" build saved my life! Anyway Gappy, I hope you're back to normal fitness now. PM me if you want more details. [/QUOTE]
