Hip hurts, brain dizzy... and to top it off got fined by the police. Apparently whatever happened (can't remember details) I am at fault for hitting a car from behind.

..ouch Andi
not good
looks like bike got off better than you

did you take a free ride to hospital to get checked out...?
if not, you should


cheers

Smitty

It wasn't too dramatic and I can even ride the bike home, major cosmetic damage underside not seen in the pic.

But now I'm starting to feel headache. Should I be worried? Don't want to spend waiting in ER half a day.

Sorry to hear Andi.

If you can't remember, feel dizzy and have a head ache get checked out ASAP - rather waste a day then have head injury go untreated. Heal up quick mate.

As for bike, maybe have forks checked - front looks tucked back to me???

Andi, if you have any loss of memory, then you have most likely hit your head. It would be wise to go and get checked out Andi, just in case there is some head trauma apart from your looks. Good luck and glad to hear that whatever happened, you are still alive an kicking!

Bugga Andi, hope you get it all sorted ok & bloody go & get a head check ..... you cant be complacent about it

Im surprised that after having loss of memory, dizziness etc there wasnt an ambo called! Go and get yourself checked out! Recovery will be much easier if u know your 100% ok! Good luck...

Stay away from Motorbike shops until you can remember what you're doing! ... you might end up with a payment scheme on a ZX10 you don't remember buying!
and get well soon!

go to the ER and take your helmet with you

you wont be waiting half a day you will be top priority as you have had a motorbike accident and have possible head injury.

im a nurse so trust me when i say that.

make sure you tell the triage nurse what happened. and show her your helmet if its scratched and that they will take you through almost straight away.
especially if you have any neck pain.

sorry to hear it Andi, get well soon mate.

its been an ordinary month for KSRCians so far

Bugger... Definately get checked out... better safe than sorry later!
All the best for yourself and your wheels...

Yep, definitely get your head checked out mate, concussion isn't something to muck around with....but make sure you take a picture of yourself from before the accident so they know it's always looked that way

.... and next time try running into a nice soft mushy pile of dirt. It's much less taxing I believe.

Definitely softer to land on, especially if it is at a convenient height

yeah mate I agree with all the above. sounds like concusion at the very least.

get better soon. Good on the police for giving you a ticket before checking that you were ok!!!! CONSISTANT FORM
