    Unhappy Broke my back

    was riding in the wet at 40kmh and hit a tar spot on the road, lost the front and back end. ended out sliding over a curb hitting it with my head and back resulting in a broken back.

    Shit mate, that's no good!

    More importantly though, how's the bike?

    Do you get the parking?

    Not good to hear mate, hope you are getting some good care and on the way to making a full recovery. Rest up and catch up on some reading?

    hope you heal fast too and that your bike is ok too....
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    ouch, its not the falling off that hurts its hitting inanimate/animate objects. Get well sooner.

    Drugs are good mmkay! Take care of yourself mate and as nasty said, take the time to heal up properly and dont rush back into things- your spine is a pretty important bit of kit, so you want it as healthy and strong as you can.
    PS you were bloody lucky- but you already know that eh

    Yea what he said mate. I have had 3 broken vertibrae in the last 5 years ( 2 bike inflicted - the third alcohol!) and it is essential that you are patient in your recovery. If not you could be looking at long term complications. All the best mate.

    ahhhhh well riding with no license thats your deal

    girl leaving you for another guy - lucky break for you .. shrugs may not seem like it now but there are plenty more fish in the sea.

    you should be on ACC & your work can not do a thing about that .. if they do well they will be in the crapper for that


    so if this is as rough as it gets there is only one way & that is up .. so heal first .. do ya time walking, taking public transport & save ya money for new replacement wheels & spend the time checking out other girls

    If you're at rock bottom the only way is up. You have a lot more to prove now - don't let the Bastards beat you.

    Your task for today (just a suggestion) is to write down where you want to be in a year's time, and what steps you need to take to get there. Better paying job with understanding employer, girlfriend who is able to commit, healing back and new bike. Even if you don't write down your wish list, I'd still like to hear back from you in a year's time. Seems like a long time, but it will pass quickly. Only 365 days.

    We are all tested on the journey of life - maybe this is one of your first tests, so you get to make the story up as you go along now. Work hard at it and you will discover the one thing that no one can take away from you - faith and trust that we are survivors to our very core, no matter what obstacles life throws at us.

    Hang it there - it gets better ~
