Close call
On the way home tonight, passed a tuk tuk, but there was gravel on the median, or possibly oil.
Bike flipped, I landed in front of the tuk tuk but facing away, he couldn't stop and drove into my head.
Minor cuts/roasties and bruises, sore back, otherwise fine
Tuk tuk stopped and passengers and driver helped me up and get the bike up, driver spoke perfect English
Then he dropped off his passengers and came back to see if I was oK/if he could take me to my home
A Khmer guy who lived in the States for a long time.
I'd like to find him and his passengers and thank them properly
Moral: buy a full-face helmet, it will save your life one day.
Oh, and whisky on a roastie hurts like hell
Miraculously, my laptop is fine, my phone is fine, haven't really checked the bike yet.

Re: Close call
You are one kind of a lucky guy, Vladimir. The streets of PP are murderous. Good to have you back. Clean your wounds now, and apply some antibiotic cream.
P.S.: be happy that there wasn't a truck behind you.

Re: Close call
I look at it this way:
If it had been a truck,1) I wouldn't have to work ever again, and 2) you wouldn't have to tolerate weak puns anymore

First recover, and then we are going to have a little discussion about point 1 (I wouldn't have to work ever again). Get well soon for now.vladimir wrote:I look at it this way:

Re: Close call
Glad you are ok vlad but next time please have the tuk tuk drive onto either your laptop or your hands rather than your face. Your wife and boards members will be grateful for that.
Re: Close call
Does this mean I have to check your suspension out as well? I'd help with a medical as well, but I didn't pass my 1st year in uni so...
Just kidding, glad you're alive. I came out of an accident last week and am still limping from it, seems like you came off better than I did.
