Well, what can I say?
Apart from .. Bugger.... Was having the usual heaps of fun at the Sandpit trying to keep up with Grace on my first lap of the MX track, saw a new jump and not knowing what it was like, I slowed down to a reasonable pace to just pop over and have a look. Alas there was a hole on the other side where the dirt had been scooped and I had exactly the right speed to hit the other side front wheel first. Trusty KDX stopped dead (hmm, poor choice of phrase.. ) and of course I didn't.......
Result is many weeks off the bike and camera (needs two hands to operate...)
..Gotta say a huge thanks to everyone who helped, I was convinced I'd dislocated the 'socket' part of the joint and with help from some very willing ladies (inflicting more pain a specialty me thinks) we had a few goes at 'popping' it back in with no success. As it turned out it wasn't separated, so that was really just good entertainment for the gathering crowd....
I’m most impressed with my girls too, soon as I’d left in the meat wagon, they took their bikes off the trailer and rode another 2 hours… Then when they got home, my wife took them to the premier of Harry Potter. What’s a guy gotta do to get some attention?
I also think I lost some credibility when I said “this is worse than childbirth” Not a good comment in such company…Hehe…
THIS IS NO REFLECTION ON THE SANDPIT. Just a slow old fart making a mistake….
