Ummm, trust me on this one. I thought I hurt that day and the next but it can continue as bruises take time to come out. I'm a week on and the pain and stiffness from the bruises are still with me, and so are the bruises

. Take a moment to chill and how are you feeling?

Good thing nothing broke! What gear were you wearing?

yeah... was pretty serious braking...

gear jacket, gloves, and helmet... normal jeans (yeah I know) but no damage there...

gear doesn't look damaged at all but suspect my elbow would be far worse off if I wasn't wearing any protection...

Oh, that was my point though. But it's still a good sign not hurting too badly the day after! I found that the 2nd day after my crash was the worst when I had my first spill - was stiff and sore, feeling like shit!

You've been taking stunting lessons from Carver I believe - otherwise you wouldn't have done it on the highway

Cordura/leather?, armour/no armour?, touch helmet down at all?, torn any stitches at all?

Blimey you've been lucky then! What did you land on, a mattress?

Nice to know the brakes work on the mighty ER6 eh but that's taking it a bit seriously. Glad to hear you aren't too badly damaged

**Morcs** · 10th June 2008, 12:14

Bugger. Sorry to hear that tide.

Ive flipped backwards twice, havent done frontwards, and from the sounds of it, dont want to do it

**ManDownUnder** · 10th June 2008, 12:25

I tried a stoppie on the RF once but only managed to get bow wave of tarseal in front of me.

Glad to see you and your sense of humour get to play another day Tide. Could have been a lot worse huh? I fear coming off in traffic... the off is one thing.. being run over is quite another...!

NO MORE STOPPIES ON THE MOTORWAY PLEASE

Sorry to hear the news mate, hope all gets fixed up asap.

**Qkchk:Me** · 10th June 2008, 13:27

Look on the bright side - at least it didnt happen in the middle of the summer!

Here I was thinking you were going to start riding on the ATNR again! We will see you @ the pub
