    Hell. So much damage and pain from what was a very low speed off. According to my GPS the average speed of our group imediately prior to the collision was only 28 kmh. We had been doing 39 kmh just before the bend where we saw the grader.

    what are you suggesting? I am no expert on falling off a bike at low speed and what injuries you can do to your neck thats why I am going to the spinal guy. ACC seems to accept that I have an injury and the specialist does as well. I just want it fixed cos its causing me grief. Not after your sympathy.

    I'm suggesting that your experience mirrors my own. More injuries and more expensive damage at low speed than at high speed. My shoulder injury that kept me off the bike for almost a year was at less than 50 kmh.

    Apologies Malcom, read your comment the wrong way. Frustrating as all hell TBH I cant even understand why I am having so much problem from this minor crash. Maybe I am just getting old.

    Thats probably the most irritating part... At least if it was a decent speed, you could understand. Slow speed, long term recovery... gotta suck.
