    Good that you didnt get too injured squill, bad that it ruined alot of your gear. Dont let it dent your confidence, loved how you pulled a bicep type pose on your pic though! :wink:

    Seems to be a fair bit of finger pointing on here!...
    Fortunately, your injuries weren't too bad, and hopefully, you'll be healed soon...
    Did it do much damage to your kit?
    Did they stop to see you were ok?...

    You will have to refrain from flexing them squil if you catch them on that route again!

    I'm not having a go, I just think you should ride a little more defensively

    All the best

    I know, still, at least it wasnt too bad, I shall be more careful now, but I feel I would have still gone over even at slower speeds.

    Live and learn as they say!

    +1

    the problem seems to be lane placement relative to other traffic rather than speed

    but hard to judge not seeing the road for ourselves

    Roundabouts,diesel, learner driver and speed. Not a good combination in anyones book.

    Glad the injuries are just superficial.

    count yourself lucky as it could have been a whole lot worse.
