Kapiti/Horowhenua Tagomania

[Berg]

Thanks for all the messages of support. Mrs Berg and I flew home today. Lots of recovery to do but things looking positive. The crash involved speed, wet clay, a ditch and a momentary talent failure. Ended up lying on my back with no feeling or mobility south of my neck which I will admit was the single most scary thing that has ever happened to me.
Things have improved on the mobility front and I can now walk and have most of my normal hand and arm movements. ATGATT saved my life as the spine in my 661 core saver soaked up a huge part of the impact.
We will keep you all advised of progress and I hopefully will be back out riding soon.

That's great news. Good to have you back & will look forward to seeing you and Mrs B out and about again. Sounds like you need to swap that quad for a 2-wheeler as quads tend to hurt a heap more when you crash them !

in the meantime, take it easy and follow the docs orders and youll be rearing to go again in no time.

Thanks... things are slow in all the games at the moment. Hopefully a healthy dose of sunshine and some long daylight saving evenings might see a bit more activity

Argh. It's been just over a week and I'm already hanging out for a ride
Won't be allowed back on a bike for a few weeks at least as the right hand is still very slow to respond but I'm flat out doing exercises to improve it
The main thing I can pass on from this experiance is "never shortcut the good gear" If it wasn't for what I was wearing I would not be on the recovery road. Even Mrs B has had a winner from that as I shouted her a new Shoei at Motomarts sale yesterday. Better safe than sorry. Be safe out there all
