Hi Damien, Yeah they are great photo's I not sure about the ones of me as you can see the dropped shoulder and as you progress through you can tell I'm slower by the angle of the lean through the corners. I thought I would update you on the condition, and after a five day wait I had a plate inserted last tuesday, discharged wednesday and back at work thursday. The surgeon said it was like an explosion had gone of in my shoulder not to move it for 6 to 8 weeks so I will not be riding Taupo but I'm sure Avlon will ride it. Hope you go well at HD tomorrow.

Bugger Chambers, not good at all. Thanks for the update though, hope the other two are healing/faring better.

Hmm.... Nasty indeed. How could you ride at all!!!
You would have been looking forward to Taupo too . Avalon should go very well on your bike.

It must be painful, but if you can race with broken bones I'm sure you can handle it!

Glad you didn't have to wait 2 and a half years like I did

xrays would be nice

The strange thing about it is apart from the second ride it has not been painful infact I haven't had any pain killers at all. I asked the surgeon if there was nerve damage or if he put a shunt in and he said everything else looked good and no need too. On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst it was about 7 on the ride and by the night it was about 3 next morning 2, after surgery 1 its just frustating not being able to use it so it gets a chance to heal if I don't it will give me grief for ever. I've got to say everyone from the Surgeon down at Middlemore couldn't have done anything else for me they were absolutely wonderful and I can't thank them enough.

Great pics AGAIN

but every year the same thing
Dont follow the BLODY bike out onto the track when you are pushing

I've run 2 people over already and am willing to do it again !!!!!!! (not deliberatly)

waving your hands wont help you either (I'm not going to shoot just run you over at 30+ km/h)

It used to be the person holding the bike was NOT allowed to push. (or have allowances been made for the high comp coal burners???)

Thanks for the photos. It looks like the field was a lot bigger than when I raced the two hour in the 80s (No 24 Honda CB 125T).

We didn't get to see a lot of photos in those days, digital hadn't been invented yet HeHe.

I had a lot of fun but wasn't very competitive, I found this out on the old Taupo track, way too slow.

I will make an effort to come out to Mt Wellington and check out what is happening these days
Cheers Martin

bring your leathers and make yourself known
that way you can see what has changed with the bikes as well
