Now I was turning right onto Tamaki Drive from the carpark to head towards city, there is an intersection with traffic lights about 20 metres further on. As I was turning right onto Tamaki dve, the lights went orange so I gave it a little bit of throttle to get through them while leaned over... and now stone cold tyres...
Bike looked pretty sad, not much left on it. Then the ambo's came (oh great.. it was my ambulance from my station... I had handed over to this very crew only 3 hrs prior!!). Right shoulder was bloody sore, wondered if I had broken something.
So off to Hospital where all the staff had fun poking and prodding me. X-rays said I was clear of fractures, Just bruising and a damaged AC Joint.. all good, some lovely pain relief and a sling and I am on my way home!!
So if I can say one thing is that, I was just gonna wear my bike jacket and jeans and "safety shoes", but for some strange reason I said.... nah I will go the one piece leathers.. welllucky I did eh cos I slid right through the intersection, and not a mark on me!..
A few things I'm tempted to comment on... but good to hear you're alright (ATGATT
).
I hope your insurance agent is a nice fella
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. - Joseph Rotblat
