    Hey all...

    I think there will probably be about 10 new posts up by the time I manage to finish typing this out haha!

    First of all thank you all SO VERY VERY much for your concern, even those of you I have barely met, thanks again.

    I'll run you through my version of the day or what I remember at least.

    I had just changed both bikes to "race shift" for a corner or two that was proving tricky on the 400 so was really wanting to just get my head around shifting this way before the PMCC round in Taupo on the 13th.

    First session went out on the race bike, and was taking it pretty easy getting to grips with changing the opposite way. Only had a couple of hickups and then it felt pretty natural. Actually cheers WT, I actually remembered it by using the little anecdote (if thats what they are called?) that you told me to remember what way to shift and it worked a treat!

    Towards the end of the session I started to push harder and felt like I was going faster than I had done in the first round of the AMCC. Although not timed i would guess I was in the 1.11's somewhere.

    Then the second session came along and I thought i'd go out on the R1 to see how it went on the track. Plus a mate from work had some down for a lookie so I had to do some compulsory wheelstanding and general showing off! haha

    So yeah I took a few laps to get used to different gearing on the R1 and the enourmous speed difference, I remember seeing 290 on the dash down the straight! Although i'm sure this wasn't a "real" speed. Started getting into the groove of things and was happy to be passing some people that I consider to be reasonably fast. Despite being held up in traffic a bit, Cibby Chick said I got down to 66 sec laps. Which I was pretty happy with despite being slow for what the bike is capable of.

    So as the session neared the end, my fuel light had been on for a while (no suprises here for those who now me!) so I thought I'd come in and jump back on the race bike for the last few laps (turns out there was only 1 more lap, should've stayed put! oh well) So I went out and thought I was taking it pretty easy speed wise, well, problem was, compared to the R1 I was probably taking it easy, but for a NC30 with cold tyres on the first lap I was probaly pushing relatively hard.

    So anyway I stupidly went up over the R/H corner over the hill (dont know corner names yet) and the bike lost the front. Then all I remember was hanging onto the bike and spinning around facing up and down the track. Next thing I remember I was in an ambulance, so apparently I was uncouncious for a while.

    So yeah it was off to middlemore and lots of tests and scans and disturbing tests! I honestly don't know what they can possible learn from sticking that there!!!

    Turns out I had snapped my collar bone, broken a few ribs, small puncture to the lung, banged up and bruised knees and back, oh and a bit of .. umm that thing when you foget stuff after hitting your head... ya know, umm, shit I forget now oh yeah concussion haha.

    But that was cool as I had copious amounts of morphine to help me out!

    Would like to say a HUGE thankyou to those that visited and called:
    -Cibby Chick, thank you for everything, i see you even signed some forms for me! ta.
    -TS and Chloe, thank you for visiting, was a really nice suprise!, once I managed to sit up and see who it was!
    -Quasievil thanks for everything mate, you are the man.
    -Cheers Torque for getting in touch.
    -Loosebruce, as usual I would like to call you a homo and let you know that your mum is tending my every need for me now ;-) Nah good to catch up bud.
    -Thanks V twin raver for checking in on me.
    -Thanks to Black yoshi for leaving me a message on the celly.

    And BIG thanks to ALL of you who wished me well in this thread, really means a lot guys. Hope to never be in the situation to repay the favour, but should it arise I will be right there for ya's :-)

    So now its recovery time, if it wasnt for this damn broken shoulder i'd be back in no time trying to carve up F3... pfft I wish. Figure it might be the start of next year before I have the strength to race again. That's cool though as it will mean two months to try and fix my bike up. From first glance the forks seem ok, although tripple clamps are nackered, tank is nakered, frame is craked. But engine and wheels seem fine. Will put some photos up for you shortly.

    If you learn anything from my silly mistake please always make sure your bike is nicely warmed up before you push it!

    AND FOR GODS SAKE WEAR GOOD PROTECTION!!!!

    I'll try upload a shot of my damaged body and my gear, I'm sure you will see that my gear just paid for itself a hundred time over.

    Safe riding all, see you all out there really soon aye. :spudwave:

    -Daryl

    pic four-my shoulder starting to look a bit big and blue
    pic five-bruising around rib area starting to show

    Pity about the leathers being munted but looks like they did thier job well.

    How long you off the bike for isn't like 6-8 weeks or something??
