After my TMax was stolen on my birthday, I finally got it back after two weeks of waiting for the police to do their forensic stuff. They told me the damage was a broken mirror and some scratches. It was way more than that. I'm now waiting on a visit from an engineer from the insurance company to assess the damage but fully expect it to be a write-off.
To cheer myself up and clear my head I went out for a cycle ride this morning. Four miles into it and a patch of wet leaves saw me hit the floor. Once I got up I thought I'd probably broken my collar bone. I was able to ride home though.
My favourite cycling shorts now have a big hole in them and I need a new cycling helmet too. The good news is the bicycle seems to be fine.
A trip to A&E and despite first appearances, lots of arm movement, an X-ray confirmed a broken collar bone. It's the left side which is fortunate as I'm right-handed.
I've now officially had enough of this year,
How bad is my luck?

Blimey, I'd perhaps stay indoors for the rest of the year mate, and don't go shaking it so hard after going for a wizz, with your luck it might come off in your hand 
A lot safer.-

You'd be surprised, three times in 12 months. I'm seriously considering a Burgman 650. Surely no one will take that.

GWS soon and Rule 5.

You're still alive and kicking. Take pride in yourself for riding above adversity and spitting in its eye. Today you are a stronger man than you were yesterday and you've bagged yourself a new lid and shorts to boot!

I was feeling miffed as my aquarium burst a seam at midnight on Tuesday dumping 200l of water on the floor, now I don't feel as bad.
