    Broken arse no more!

    It is almost 9 weeks since my accident..6 weeks in casts in a Hawkes Bay summer is cruel.
    Casts came off almost 3 weeks ago and I have been going to physio ever since.
    Today I decided that it was time I got back on the wee beastie that so unceremoniously tossed me off, so Mstrs (he worries about me, so had to ride shotgun for me) and I headed off about 6 pm. Negotiated the cars in the driveway just fine but stalled about 4 times trying to get on to the road. Eventually we headed off for a somewhat gentle pootle around some quiet roads.
    I actually did better than I thought I would, kept to a fairly consistent 110 120 ks - apart from the corners where even the most gentle curve sent my nerve running for cover to start with.
    As time and distance progressed I relaxed and improved and it felt great to be back on the bike again.
    I only did about 40 ks because my thumb, which got broken in the bin, was really tingling, like bad pins and needles but not painful, just uncomfortable.
    I'll be back on her again tomorrow - if I can beat hXc to it, that is.....

    I'll have to have a think on that one - can you fix my speedo - it reads 140 when I am only doing 110...

    Go Yungatart

    Great to hear you are coming right and back on the horse.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Not every one crashes and I don't see that it is a necessary part of your learning curve.
    Learn to ride properly, take courses in riding if they are available in your area, stay aware and focused, ride your own ride within your limits at all times and you don't need to.
    Remember, sticky side down, shiny side up - you'll enjoy it much more that way!
    Not being a smartarse (well, maybe knowing me) but I reckon you may have jinxed yourself.......

    Glad to see your back in the saddle mate !!
