2 weeks ago I had a "lil crash"
Just thought Id take this chance to tell what happened.
Racing my Sv650 at Taupo I saw a rider in front crash heavily.
Just as this happened I had a bit of a tap from behind on the right hand side of the bike.
I was laying the bike into Turn 3 -(a downhill left hander) at the time .The bike laid down for a sleep on its left side but decided it would use my left wrist as a pillow for its handlebar end and my body as a matress.
In sympathy to the bike I laid me down to sleep for about 5 minutes or so -thinking the race officials would just cone off round us and carry on until I woke up from my nap--No such luck and the green truck with flashy lights carted me off the track.
I wont go into the mare I had in hospital (or was that outside?) cos its a boring story.
Result of all this is Ive got a bunch of steel inside my arm.My head took a fair ol whack and it seems to have scrambled the brains a bit.My short term memory is er--Ohh what was I saying ??
I thought I'd be back to normal but the ol head aint clearing as fast as I expected.
Anyhoo --Thanks to all those that have stuck by me during my lil er trip.
And thanks for all those who have called wishing me well--Its really cheered me up heaps--sorry about the slurred speech
