morning mystery

Tefal · 7 Oct 2016 at 06:43

so on the way home from work on the dual carriageway while doing lets say excessive speed, i got hit in the back by something.

not hard felt kinda like someone throwing a tennis ball under arm at you.

nearest car was a good half mile back and crawling but up ahead by about 50 yards was a lorry in the inside lade.

ut i cant think how anything could have come from the lorry and hit me in the back.

no mark on my jacket, caught my at the base of the right shoudlerblade/backpack.

im thinking maybe a bird flying sideways across the motorway flew into the side of my bag and wing hit me maybe?

didnt see anything though.

Stone picked up by your rear wheel?

Coulda been something like a bit of cardboard kicked up by your air flow?

i dont think so the huge bazzoka exhausts on the blackbird would block anything from the tyre id think, plus it felt large but not to heavy, so dont thinkstone, also no bump.

notat the speed i was doing, lets just say i could have gotten a speeding ticket on top of a speeding ticket.

no marks on my jacket or bag either.

I used to get this, eventually caught it on my gopro showed it was actually the double stitched straps of my rucksack - at warp speed, they would flick around like a whip and could feel 10x their size and weight.

Any cord/strap that could be doing that for you ?

TallPaul_S · 7 Oct 2016 at 08:42

Ahh yes if you were wearing a rucksack, a loose strap will be it, flailing about in the wind.

It was your pillion slapping his dong on you.

Knowing Tefal, that's probably a common occurrence

Change "his" to "her" and you might be on to something

Looks like ive ripped the tendons off the ring finger on my right hand last joint as i csnt steiaguten it but can bend it.

Left hand might have fractured knucklees.

Front wheel is buckled ao bad the tyres flat lol.

Just waiting on xrays if worst comes to worst ill ihave a cast on my left hand and a splint on my right.

I may need to hire and ass wiper

TallPaul_S · 7 Oct 2016 at 16:21

Might wanna look into the legal side, see if that pot hole had been reported to the council, a pot hole big enough to throw you off a bike shouldn't be on a dual carriageway!

Glad you're mostly OK though, bones will heal and metal can be replaced.
