    My first broken bone - VMCC round 4

    After having a fabulous day on friday, grinning in my helmet the whole time, race day rolled round

    It was wet but not raining, I have to admit I dont particularly like in between!!
    I qualified pretty poorly, couldnt get past a 250 that got away from me on the straights but held me up in the corners

    Think I qualified about 11th

    Race 1
    Start was a bit shit but managed to get into turn 1 in front of quite a few people, was riding quite well, felt ok from the test day, especially dunlop! Even the back section was going quite well, I wasn't such a pansy on that corner with the patch!!
    Gareth passed me and was riding really well! Ryan passed me and I passed him back in the back hairpin. Coming down the front straight of last lap gareth runs wide in turn one (his back brake got jammed on) I continue, coming into higgins Ryan is on the outside of me, we both brake late, i start to tip in, he hits me and then in lying on the outside of the track, stuck under my bike!
    I couldn't lift it off me because my arm was fucked! Think I hit my head too and was knocked out for a few seconds
    Wasn't too sore but got progressively worse

    Palmy ED managed to process me really quickly, guess because there is sweet FA they can do about a broken in a few pieces shoulder blade but give you a sling and some sweet painkillers.

    As always thanks to Billy/racefairings.co.nz my lovely sponsor who gives me a bike to ride

    The lovely ambo staff.....they pushed me into the ambulance even with much protest from me saying I was fine!

    All the people that came and asked how I was

    The marshall that got the bike off me

    So my first broken bone is out the way.....I would love to be back for next round though that may be a bit wishful....we will see what the fracture clinic says next week.

    Mostly Im gutted about being robbed of my what would have been 5th place in all of streetstock!!!

    Shit mate. Welcome to the busted shoulder club and glad to see that you are still in good spirits. Some people I wont name were having a chuckle about the potential for you to be a challenging patient for the ambo peeps. Of course I told them to stop being so insensitive.
    Heal quick Rach.

    I'd also like to add a big thank you to every one that helped Rach out. Helen, Deano etc...my shout!

    Rach is insisting I get her nurses outfit out and wear it. Think I might.

    Bugger!

    It was a pretty challenging day out there, quite a few falls and plenty of "moments" had by many of the riders.

    Hope you heal quickly

    How was the bike?
