Hippy Headbutts Honda..

"Hypothesis that Hondas Hurt Heads more than
Heads Hurt Hondas Holds true"

If you are after an anti-car post you're out of
luck - this one was my fault - although if the car
wasn't there I wouldn't have hit it would I?
Hmm..

So I leave work and make it '1' whole block.
Next thing I know my head is bouncing off the
back of this black Honda and I'm sprawled over
the intersection. That wasn't supposed to
happen?!

I can't remember if I was looking at a nearby
turning car or if I was deciding which side to
pass the 4wd on or if I just wasn't switched on
but the car stopped and so did I, somewhat
violently into its spare tyre case.

Thanks to the cyclist who stopped and asked if
I was okay. Thanks to the drivers for not
running me over while I was down. I decided to
cut the ride short and just rode home, a little
dazed, with a stiff neck and golf ball above my
eye (yeah, luckily my head prevented any
damage to my expensive helmet!!!). Mild
concussion methinks with a neck sprain?

Bike seems okay but needs further checking
when I can see straight

Gave my details to driver. Wait to see if they
want money or if blood was sufficient.

effing ell! Bad things happen in threes, or so they say. The rest of us had better be extra careful for the next little while. At least you could ride home afterwards - take care out there!

Yeah, it's worse today, than it was yesterday.
I thought I WAS the third so you guys are all safe
for a while.. Jaz, Dutchy and I?
Actually, there's also Geoff and whoever else went
down on BRx. Hmm.. so much for threes... :-S

ha! Too many dudes away at work so I figured I'd
better come in. I'm just a little slower than normal..
probably not even noticeable

I don't like meds with head smacks.. they might
numb the pain from that blood clot that's gonna kill
me and any pain is a good reminder to not do the
same thing again! (strange logic.. maybe.. strange
human.. certainly).

I was on the Pug. Damage seems minimal. Head
took most of the impact. Scratches to shifters
seems to be it. Anyone know the pre-crash
wheelbase of a Puegeot Offensiv?
