Like the title says, I fell off a stationary bike that was on the side stand. Without the engine even running. How stupid is that? :weird:
Simple enough. As I stepped off, I caught my foot on the tail bag. Which unbalanced me and I fell backwards onto the asphalt footpath. I guess, like Ian Botham, I didn't quite get me leg over...
I thought "Oh damn, I'll just roll." (Again.)
Not this time. The foot catch rotated my alignment to the ground so that I fell flat onto the lower back. There was a moment of absolute stunned silence whilst I listened to all the internal body sirens wailing. Thought "This is not going to be good."
Two minutes of lying there I decided I had to stand up. Dragged over to the fence and used it to hoist upright again. Some very serious pain going on at the time.
Well a week later an x-ray showed a compression fracture of the L4 vertebra. Which is why I am still unable to do most anything. Wondered why the pain was not going away. A week of ideal riding weather and I'm stuck with a busted arse.
I just bet ACC will use this to rant on about motorbikes again. Even though the bike itself wasn't really involved.
Moral of the story: If you're gunna get your leg over, make sure you DO it.
Not a happy camper right now. :angry:
