Hit the deack

As I went around a roundabout last night in the pouring rain the back of the scooter decided to make a run for it. Just lost the back end not the front as I would have expected. Few scrapes and a swollen ankle. Scoot ok to. Once i reattached the mirror. The main thing I'd like to say is. A f**king taxi that had to go around me, didnt even stop to see if I was ok. He just carried on driving. Unbelievable.
The biggest upset was that I had a brand new bottle of rum in the seat and it smashed. I'm still sobbing. Oh and it was still sealed so no I wasn't drinking lol.

lol too bad about the rum, hope your okay buddy! glad to here the bike is good too

 

I had a tumble last month, also involving a taxi....or more accurately, a minicab.
At least you're okay mate, nothing broken. Your scoot got off lightly too, lucky you!
In the end, machines are replaceable, humans aren't.
Ride safe mate, hope the swelling goes down soon...

 

Last time I hit the deck someone did ask if I was ok, just being asked helped me pick myself up and get back on.

 

Just to cheer you all up, a taxi tried to overtake me on a roundabout in the snow and he went straight on into the railings. Luckily I wasn't going too fast and simply eased off the gas and watched him sail past me. I then calmly drove around him.

 

There was no need on this occasion. He bounced off the railings and pulled back out behind me. Ordinarily I would stop and help.

 

Sarcasm. My kind of humour.

 

someone told me if u buy a bottle of alcohol from tesco and you "accidently" drop it and the seal isnt broken aparently tesco will replace it ... if u tell them the carrier bag split or summin

 

I'll have to check that out. Good info

 

"Mr Raine this is the 5th bottle of vodka youve brought back today and each time your a little bit more drunk"

 

Now everyone's gonna think you're some drink riding alcoholic when you ride past them with a bike stinking of rum

 

dont think id get my bottles in my bike lol
