Now that summer has finally shown up in England, the first thing that i manage to do is go for a high side, land on concrete flagstones on my head and shoulder smashing my helmet , shoulder blade and a rib for good measure as well as numerous bruises and grazes.
my bike bounced and flipped a couple of times but all it shows is a couple of new minor scrapes.
So, should be back in the saddle just as the weather breaks
by the way i should mention that my trident was safe and sound in the garage at home. i did all the damage riding a single speed mountain bike.

Man, I was thinking "how? how? how?" within the context of a motorcycle. No matter, sounds like a bad turn of events. Glad you (and your Trident) are "okay".

Yep, been there myself, broken bones and a couple of surgeries to prove it. Bicycles are dangerous, the center of gravity is in the wrong place (just below the rib cage I'm thinking). Motorcycles are MUCH safer. Heal quickly.
