Was what I was saying as I went over the bars into the back of a Citroen Piccaso ,,, :shock:

Was the classic case of me expecting the car to move off, which it did for a few meters before stopping and me starting to put the power down as I was on a good time for a PB on the fixed.

Totally my fault, the woman who I hit was great. I apologised and started to check I hadn't damaged her car to which she replied, "I'm not ar5ed about the car, are you ok" :D

All ok, lesson - leave more space.

    Took my top 4 front teeth out on the boot of a car that didnt move. Body slammed and bike hurt a black merc sl, also put the back window out on a volvo estate. All before i was 12, 38 now and much more observant.

    sounds like the woman was decent and did the adrenalin make up the lost time on your PB?

    The very first time I rode a bike I went into the back of a Mark 1 Jag. :oops: My Brothers hadn't explained where and what the brakes were. :roll:

    I missed out on the PB by .8 mph over the distance. The traffic was bad and strangley I had lost the desire to push on through it. :D

    Feel fine this morning, thought I may have pulled somthing yesterday but all ok.

    I took the option and told by better half what I did, all i got was, " did you feel like a muppet" no are you ok ? :shock:

    I would rather have the muppet coment than horror and worried.
