Yesterday, towards the end of a fantastic day riding with friends, I had a nasty tumble with the 1090r.
I cant remember anything of the fall and very little of the hours thereafter. @foxi was riding behind me and had to take evasive action to avoid riding into me and in the process had a fall himself.
From what they could make out, I hit a lurker at speed which kicked out the back wheel. Bike high sided me and a landed on my head leaving unconscious for a few minutes.
Bike is in fairly bad shape. My Airoh helmet cracked open, leaving me with a proper concussion. Few roasties on my hand, shoulders and lower back, but nothing too serious. Staying in hospital for observation.
