Bikes unmarked apart from snapped gear lever (I think I broke it with my toe) I stayed on it!
It hurt a bit when I pushed it home though!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune but had to laugh when I read you pushed the bike home. Its funny how your p&j must be sorted first.
The last bike accident I had I rode home with cracked ribs, a ripped almost detached thigh muscle and bruising to the bone in my knee along with the usual pains of landing on tarmac.
The handle bars were bent and twisted, indicators gone, lever snapped but made it the 12 miles home and parked up before visiting the hospital.
What kind of boots were you wearing?
Hi, I've got thousands of pounds worth of biking gear so I was wearing trainers of course! :lol:
:headbang: I was wondering as bike gear is pretty good at protecting you nowadays

Don't take this the wrong way Rob, and I can't explain why, but that's gotta be the funniest pic I've seen on the Forum :lol:

Looks like the end of a dancing career!

I don't think they would have made much difference to be honest, I would have needed steel toe caps to have escaped this one!

It's just cos I'm used to pics of you in your Zed or your Elise or your Train or in your Garden or your in House, not in a hospital bed. It just looks so incongruent: Rob in a hospital bed - apologies :oops:

Clearly neither could I. I felt that I'd hit the tank but had no idea what it had done. In the following hours the pain arrived and the whole thing looked like a black grapefruit.

Bikes are dangerous but so much fun.

PS: I feel your pain on the nail front too, I've had a big one fall off from a blister before and had ingrowing toe nail surgery twice. Make sure you keep it well trimmed and shaped as it comes back as it tends to be not as neat.

Hi, surprisingly I didn't get much pain from the damaged nail-it's the shattered big toe bone & burst toe that really bought tears to my eyes.
After my surgery last night 90% of the pain & stinging has gone.
I'm really pleased with the improvement and can't wait to get home, bit of a she I was kept in overnight as its Mrs Bears Birthday today

Have you been told if it's likely to be a 100% recovery or could there be residual symptoms?

Great to here the pain is far less following surgery. :thumbsup:

You'll have to bake Mrs Bear a cake and then help her eat it. :wink:

I don't think they really know, I'm seeing my doctor next week for a follow up check so will see what he thinks.
Been speaking to insurance co today & compo may have been mentioned.
This time next year I maybe in a 35is :lol:

It's a very elaborate plan just to avoid 'flowers and dinner'. Hope your poor 'paw' gets well soon :)
