I ride every day, combo of m-way and carving out round London. Been working this week on top of Haywards gallery, so my route goes thru New cross. New Cross is a donkey bum of a place to get thru, narrow, bus lanes and just a bunch of ***** in cars trying to get ya, mixed with scooters that I bump into every day... well one of these caused my off.

Passing the traffic I was behind a scooter kid, I clutched and blipped as we approched the red lights. He **** himself and anchored up, I braked hard.. front hit a flat can of red bull that was in the dusty run off part of the road, and I went down on my left side. :jack
Hit the scooter too.... KER PUNG... Oh he flew about 10 m up the road.

Damage... not too bad, rattle can job:pirate Bent gear lever. Rode him in 4th.

Landed on my knee, which I had dislocated Friday night in the mosh pitt at Reading festival so that hurt a little.

Ride safe boyz.
 
Ouch, I use to commute through London everyday myself, and it really is hell-ish at times, sounds like a slow one, hope you get better soon bud.
 
I hate people who litter :rantthey dont realise what it causes do they :jack
Glad you and your bike's not seriously hurt....:thumbup
 
did ya cut the scooterz brake lines..so he can't do that to yer again ...@#*&%$@ pesky buggaz!
 
Sometimes I am so glad I don't have to "do battle" on London's roads.

Glad your OK, and the bike aint to bad.

How was the scooter kid, besides having bricked himself?
 
Ouch..Nightmare, I wouldn't want to ride through London on a daily basis, glad you're ok..

I really enjoy riding in London, Hyde park corner is fecking sweet. :doug

Scooter mince picked himself up, and looked at me. I had my visor up and he could tell I was fuming. I called him over, made him help me right my bike. Then told him to **** off before I really hurt him...

I can not understand why I have not yet bought crash mushrooms yet.....:dunno
 
glad you and the bike are more or less in two-not more pieces. Fekin scooter commuters!

Well at least you are ok which is the main thing and your bike has minimal damage , but why were you raging at the lad on the scooter?

The saying ' only a cnut has a rear end shunt ' springs to mind here. For whatever reason ( you revving your bike up I assume ) he braked and you took him out when you lost the front end. Unless I'm reading it wrong?

So if you're blameworthy, then why tell him to **** off 'before you really hurt him? :dunno

Once you saw he was ok you should have cracked him. I know what you mean about mushrooms. Trashed my GSXR dropping it at a petrol station.
 
you cant honestly hit someone for s*****ing themselves when someones own actions back fired on them!!!

bet flick thinks twice before doing it again!
 
:eatcorn:cheers must admit, it would have been a funny show from the sidelines....sorry Flick, am glad yer never got hurt tho. :thumbup
Maybe have a go at sueing the drink can manufacturer whos goods assited in your demise and damages..hardship (picking the bike up), mental and physical pain, also a dose of public humiliation even :biggrin
