He is a man of too much faith... not your fault dude, the instructor is more than likely kicking himself over the incident, get back on that bike and attend the coarse again

I sure he'll be glad to see you.

Proof that accidents dont just happen on KB rides. ( Technically speaking though
was this a KB organised Bronz course, just kidding) Glad to see your up and well. More than likely a little damaged pride, but thats a good thing. Keeps your ego in check. Always works for me. Sometimes Im as lucky as you and have a studio audience. Those are the worst small offs.

Bugga, But I bet you don't make that mistake again aye.

Hope it doesn't put ya off riding, and thanks of the rite up!

I did email peggy (the only email addy I had) about building them up something. I was just thinking of an small cheap LED array with either a remote control or even better a motion sensor from those security lights, make it outa plastic and junk so if someone hits it they dont hurt themselves etc.

Mate am I glad to see your post!!! Been worried ever since I saw it happen ( not a nice thing to watch ) glad to see you're not tooooo badly hurt. And the same for Lars.
Just hoping both of you will be getting over it soon.
All the best for now

ouch.... been there done the same course.... glad you didn't learnt your target fixation on something worse like car / truck.

I think perhaps you can donate a ramp for the instructor to hide behind next time....

I feel for the poor instructor....

Hey Reno

Glad to see your post..that means you are getting better!!

these things do happen as long as we all learn from it and be a better biker so we dont end up killing ourself, right?? Luckly Jill was there to check both of you and Lars. Wish Lars is recovering well!!

Hope to see you happy riding again.

When I heard the first report, I thought it would be in this exercise - musta been why Finn used to always seem light on his feet, when he was doing the pointing....

LMAO Its just that Finn got wise and had someone else do this particular part of the course.

When I did it last year I asked Lars how fast he can move should my reaction be slow...he laughed. He must be getting old(er)

Glad to hear both Reno and Lars doing ok.

Now the aim of this thread, what I learnt from this whole experience:

I'm glad you weren't more seriously injured Reno! I hope both you and Lars recover quickly.

Just shows that accidents can happen anywhere, even in such a 'controlled' environment!
