    I hit a tree and died, and my motorcycle bounced off into a nearby building, causing it to collapse. The body count was horrendous.

    But what was the actual physical and financial damage? You didn't provide details.
    Is that because you're now a ghost writer?

    One of my worst accidents was when a gnat hit my visor, causing a smut of insect entrails at least a millimetre wide on the helmet. The cost was horrendous, and it took years for me to fully recover from it. Even now I'm still subject to the occasional nightmare about it, and I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming and shaking at the sheer horror of it.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    That's sad, very sad.
    In fact, it's the saddest story of heard all day, Mr Swirling Vortex of Doom. (Yeah, I know it says 'terror' but I don't reckon it.)

    No, no, it's a Swirling Vortex of Terror.

    Your karma was obviously good enough to escape having to live with Finding Nemo addicts.

    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    I did an endo on the KX. Scuffed the plastics and the left arm on my leathers, but otherwise I came out pretty well

    Pride does not come before a fall, it arrives immediately after said fall. That and two neck operations later I am all gooder. They say this twitch will soon twitch go away
