Had started raining and I was in a hurry to get back home. There was heaps of rocks on the beach fist size and bigger. They had got wet from the rain and I was doing around 80 - 100k over them where beach turned right. Can't remember the crash but remember trying to pick up bike and not understanding why I did not have the power to do so. Got help to get home, got in to bed and told my boys I just needed to sleep it off. Next morning I could not get out of bed so oldest boy (then 16) rang ambulance.
yea bro i thrashed out my left side rib cage.. damn near broke em all haha.. but they stick out mad now. cant be fucked having surgery or anything to correct it - think I asked the dr once and he said they would just open you up and cut the ribs in half and turn them around or something so the stick inward not outward - seemed like a kinda moari job haha, they dont bother me too much.

Two weeks ago Stoner hadn't 100% made up his mind. He certainly has no reason to lie, expecially as he's announced it now, well before the end of the season.
I think he'd like to retire still in possesion of the number 1 plate, so I think he was smart enough to know he was beaten last weekend, and simply got some safe points instead of throwing it down the road.
He'll be back. Gonna be a great season of racing between him and Lorenzo I reckon. Be great if it came down to the wire.
Good on Stoner for not being a moron.
There are no dead heroes. Only graves.
It takes a bigger man to give up stuff for their kids.

My Daughter was 8 years old when I had my big off,and a nurse let her into the room as the Doc was busy sewing up a rather large hole in my elbow.
The look on her face made me feel really shite for putting her through that.
After that I did stay off bikes for around two years but in the end I couldn't help myself an got back into it,just swore to be more carefull about it.
Much to the disgust of my grandkids, today I won't carry pillions,I figure they can find their own way of killing themselves,,,,an their mum agrees.
I always leave home on my bike with the thought in my head, that I also want to return on it.
