Yeah, might do that. After trialling for so long it's not as if a bang in a motor usually has any effect, been upside down more times than I've had hot dinners. :lol: I could see it coming as well, I knew I couldn't stop but there was no way I was driving into the front of the bus :shock:

probably just old git syndrome ............ you're old so it will hurt :lol: :lol:

Xray of the neck is called for. Knew a guy who walked around with his broken. 30 minutes after the Xray he was in emergency surgery having it pinned. I climbed up a cliff after I broke my back going over it. Unusual headache is a sign of stroke /brain bleed, which can be reversed if treated as it happens. Get thee to a quackery. Now!

Up at 5, dull ache in head, neck and shoulders. Think it's probably due to holding on to the steering wheel when bracing for impact :lol: Probably go off in a day or so :thumbup:
Not going to bother quacks or A and E for something like this.

No, you must go to the A&e and get it checked. I got £3000 for a minor shunt.
Anything after, doctors appointments, time off work etc is all paid for. It must be logged first
Trust me, if the boots on the other foot, you would be taken to the cleaners.
I rolled of a curb once and put a 1" crack in someone's bumper. Not even in gear. It cost me £1500 for whiplash ,£500 bumper, £600 car hire for him while his was being fixed. ?
I say goto A&e, it's worth that few hours of hassle. Phone solicitor on Monday.

Sorry to read of your accident, Rod. :thumbdown:
Do yourself a favour, go to the A and E and get it checked, caution is the word. I know a few people that have brushed this sort of problem aside, thinking they are always right, don't have the time for the checkup but then paid the consequences. Pick up the phone and call the quack! :)

Yeah, get gone mate

I'v known plenty of bikers that have had tiny spills and come away with whiplash, concussion, or even more serious stuff like brain bleeds

One chap i know had a spill, thought he was fine but for being a bit dizzy. Then nearly passed out in the saddle hours later
