If it's the left leg, just let him try out one of honda's DCT offerings for a month hehe

If it's the right leg, well, there really is no excuse at all, is there?

Thanks everyone for your good will messages. I'll do a video on how it happened as its probably the most random incident to occur in a decade! I did almost die so i guess that would be slightly worse than not being able to ride my bike smile

I've just watched one of his videos for the first time.

I'm sorry he's broken his leg, and he does seem rather funny (as in humerous), but am I just an old fart for thinking his riding is absolutely awful ?

His ridng, from the one video I've watched, is everything I dislike about modern day riders, "mememe", he must make progress all the time, he doesn't care if he overtakes, undertakes, squeezes past any other road user, crosses solid white lines, crosses the temp stop lines at traffic lights, anything, as long as his progress isn't impeded.

I will not over take on solid while lines but when on a bike making progress is fun and one of the reason sot be on a bike. Other traffic is something to filter past to make progress.

I have no issues with doing what Zee does on his videos. other then say solid white lines which I have not seen

Nigel,

Im sorry you find my riding so bad - but I'm afraid when you ride/drive in a busy city like London everyday - everybody has the same mental attitude of making progress. And I NEVER double white line overtake or indeed go the wrong side of traffic islands which almost everyone else does.

Thanks for the well wishes people, and I need to man the f*ck up as soon as possible - the problem is my left leg is in a knee immobiliser - which means its constantly straight and ...erect... So straddling any kind of machine is near impossible. Although i was just goggling "fastest mobility scooter"...

I can't go into details of what happened at this stage as there is a bit of legal wrangling going on right now. But as soon as its cleared up i'll spill the beans.. unless of course I'm hushed with money wink

So for now its off down Waitorse with a helmet cam in a scooter.

cheerio

Glad you are not too bad. I look forward to the beans spillage. I take it, it was recorded on camera??

Looks like you might be commuting into London for a while on a double bloody decker.....
