| 18 months on Well is 18 months since loosing the front end (55Km/H) due to rd patched badly leaving fine blue metal dust on other side of the rd.
Damage to the bike was mainly cosmetic. to me 4 ribs broken in 3 places each dislocated collar bone. 2 shoulder reconstructions and f...ed knows how many physio sessions.
Nearly back to 100% . Still riding as much as possible and instructing.
Jacket did its job as lost no skin but wore through to body armour. boots and leather pants scuffed. |
