So, what was the fallout? How were things sorted between the others involved and how did you then manage to be evacuated along with your motorbike and not lose belongings? What was the reaction of others involved? Did they say it was your fault or were they sympathetic and helpful?
Ah yes, the aftermath. Quite underwhelming actually.
So first of all, I was riding with a friend (also foreigner, experienced, on his own bike) but we both speak Indonesian. We use a real time communicator when riding so he knew straight away I had an accident.
Hearing my screams in the communicator, he was fearing the worse, especially since he was ahead of me at the time and didn't see what happened. He was surprised to see my bike neatly parked with no damage and me rolling around holding my knee like Neymar, except it was no acting.
The driver pulled over 20m or so ahead and came to see me. Since his car was fine and he could see a bule in pain with a seemingly expensive bike, he basically excused himself and left pronto. Which was for the best because I was in no mood to deal with any kind of bullshit.
This happened in front of a closed warung but upon hearing my whines, the good lady came to see what that was all about. She offered some ice which was most welcome.
Meanwhile, the security guards from the factory across the road came to assist. My friend organized everything and managed to find a tow truck. An hour after the accident, my bike was loaded onto the truck and I was on my way back home. 3 hours total with half of it on less than stellar asphalt. My friend continued on his journey and I'm glad to report that he finished our original trip with no further incident.
Once home, my wife took me to the ER, did some MRI and checked into a room where I spent the next 2 nights hooked on tramadol.
Yesterday and today have been some of the worse days. I've been quite in pain and noticed my knee is full of fluid again.
Tomorrow is my 2nd physiotherapy session but I may try to catch my doc if he's available.
Being bed-bound for a week already is becoming old quickly, and no end in sight for the time being.
