Who didn't have a polish guy drive into the side of the car at the weekend?

Even more so hands up who fell off their bike on the way home tonight BOOWWWLOOOXXX

And while we are here how do you stop the brake light being permanently on

Can I say............
Farkin foreigners ??
Oh and dropping your bike,you sure a foreigner wasn't involved ?

But seriously at least you are still here.good news

That's my view seems ok apart from the brake light and me well aches and pains but that's normal. Pride being the main casualty as I lay in the middle of the roundabout with a bike pinning my leg having a fag whilst I contemplated that at least the weather was ok

It does'nt rain but pour for you does it my friend
Your brake light is on because the brake pedal or lever is probably bent and holding your switch in the on position, take a gander.
I am glad you are ok, a bike can be replaced although it sounds like the bike is repairable

Hope you feel better soon Geoff

Hope things pick up for you soon.

At least one of the things doesn't sound too bad

First of all, sorry to hear about your mishap, flatlander.

A pedant who likes bad puns. I was hoping that role would still be available.

You've no idea of the depths I plumb in the misplaced hope that one of them may produce a chuckle .....

unfortunately, the rest of us do.....

Bugger. Is it easily mendable?

In the unlikely event that your back brake switch is jammed I've got the plungery bit for one but it's only attached to four inches of wire. Would have to be grafted on.

At least you could have a fag - when I dropped my bike on my leg I couldn't even do that cos the fuel was leaking out right next to me!




Hope you and the bike feel better soon!

Brake light always on - had that. It was the little switch unit on the front brake lever - its insides had got claggy wi' clarts. If you've got agile fingers, it can be dismantled, cleaned & reassembled.

Sorry to hear of further woes, Geoff; must be your turn for some good fortune soon - fingers crossed for you.

Here's something to be going on with

Thanks all I just remembered when I was lying there I was actually stained with petrol from a blow back about 15-20 minutes earlier when filling up

Got to speak to a couple of nice drivers who stopped to see of I was ok I apologised for not getting up ... Well just because you're lying on the grass like a crash landed ugly version of ET no reason to forget your manners 
Mart may be needing that lid sooner rather than layer at this rare lol.
Still back off to work in the morning will try to disconnect the light till u can try and clean the gubbins.
On the plus side my new bar ends gave arrived :) gold just need an Olympic bronze mid front fairing panel or a big fek off touch up stick now lol

well I checked the adjustment of the rear lever and front lever switches and they seem ok or they did until the little contact pin jobby shot out of the front one DOH! So if I didnt before I now need the front brake switch ... over toy ou
forgot to mention currently sitting waiting for the bayttery to ncharge up as I drained it checking the lights and the brake light then maybe I can go to my dayjob

Hopefully that shower of shit thats hovering over you at the mo will soon blow over
At least some folk checked to see you were ok !
