Sorry guys, I just feel a bit too miserable. I have had the cold for a while and its not getting much better. Plus I ran into a concrete power pole on the MTB today so my knee is a bit sore. I won't be able to make it tomorrow but I'll see if I feel any better on Sunday.

You can't just mention something like that without spilling the FULL story, com'on.

Not much to say really... I had a lot in my mind that was bothering me quite a bit. Going down the normal down hill route filled with obsticals, I missread my speed for a turn, went wide, locked up the brakes, understeered and headed straight for the powerpole, hit my knee first then shoulder then came to an instant stop. I lost feeling on my leg so I hopped about on the good leg thinking I must have busted a knee cap for sure but nope. I was all ok after about 1 hour. I just can't do any wheelies for a while now but that's all.

Just to remind everyone that this was on a Mountain bike! I should probably stay off the gsxr for the weekend too...

yeah be a good idea motoracer, weather gonna be crap on sunday any way, best to rest it for a week or so, your young ya heal quickly

**Motoracer** · 25th June 2004, 22:14

Thanx Cajun, you guys have a nice ride tomorrow.

**Cajun** · 25th June 2004, 22:17

cheers motoracer, hopeful have a good turn out

Glad the lapse in concerntration happened on your mountain bike and not the gixxer.

Did sound slightly amusing though (coming from someone who among other things once rode his bike into the back of a parked car).

Heal quick and you'll be back on one wheel in no time. Hope the "a lot in my mind that was bothering me" is all sorted to. Bad stresses suck.
