If you can call a near death experience a bit of a glitch then I guess your back to where you were a wee bit of a "glitch" ago, albeit a hell of a lot wiser.
Congratulations on getting back on the Piecycle!!

Thanks folks for your constant support. It does push me through and it does mean a great deal to me. Another quick update as I am exhausted and off to lie down soon. But will do a full write up in the next few days.
Today I rode... today I tackled my nerves and a few fears head on. A very shakey start, but I took it very slow all day with a few breaks every so often. I went over the Rimutakas, out towards Martinborough, then through the back way to Graytown. After lunch at the Swan (of course - to get the pizza bread I never got to have the day of my crash) I rode out to my crash site and rode round the corner that I didn't make it round the first time. My partner and I parked up the bikes for 10 minutes and I felt proud that I went straight there and did it today.. I needed to do that and knew all along that's where I'd end up today.
I love the bike. Its a stunning ride. My neck and back are very sore tonight, holding my head up on a sharp angle, with weight on it was very hard work. But more so my leg has swollen up again and I would have to pull it up onto the foot peg in the afternoon.
A brilliant day. More feedback when I can of it all, but I can honestly say I have never been so in love with life!!!!

Have to say it...
...That is one sexy R6!!!
Bloody good job on those that put her back together! Looks hotter now than before the crash!!!
(BTW I am talking bout the bike!!!)
I also went out there for G-Bread, You converted me to it.

agreed a real sexy look the blond against black, the colour scheme makes the bike look hot.
Glad you faced your demons, so to speak, Katie, much better composed photo of you in the grass than before.

It sounds like a mixed result so far - the joy of riding along with many pains from the injuries. Take it easy, and know that as you continue to heal it will all get better. A year from now you will just be riding and loving it without pain & swelling - give it some time and it WILL happen.
I wish you many, many years of enjoyable motorcycling!

Congratulations on getting back on the bike Katie, I'm a first-time poster and a filthy cager who has been following your story from afar.
In April, my father was rear-ended in his Lotus Elise on a car club outing by a speeding Porsche. He snapped his neck, badly damaging his C2 vertebra and shearing the peg clean off it. How he wasn't killed was a miracle. After the accident he got out of the car and wondered why his head felt floppy on his shoulders and couldn't breathe.
He went through the same painful, slow recovery as you and despite being a little flimsier than he used to be and having a bit of stiffness, he's nearly back to his old self again.
He's still a way away from being able to get back into a helmet and support it, but he's a fighter and is already trying to build his muscles back up again. But when he's good and ready, we'll be getting another Lotus and getting him back out on track again.
Thanks for documenting your story, it's given me hope during some of the times when things were looking bleak for our family.
George.

As has been mentioned this series of pics look a lot better than the ones from six months ago.
Bike looks really nice. - better than new.
You look nice - relaxed, confident, happy.
Keep it up.
