Shit! Are you ok? Not too badly hurt I hope, off course we wanna hear the story.
Ya bike is replaceable & I guess we'll see you on another bike again soon.
Take it easy & give an update soon.

I would quite like to shoot up dyers and turn right onto Summit rd to Gebbies and the maybe out to Diamond Harbour. Thats a route we haven't done yet. (apart from the Diamond Harbour bit). We could regroup at the sign of the kiwi and then at the end of Gebbies (Wheatsheaf) if needed.
I'm not putting down the ride to Duvauchelle. Weds showed us we can do that, but maybe not every week.
yeah i ok, i dislocated my left shoulder, broke my left elbow, didn't break my leg but i did manage to make a mess of my left knee and tendons, was only wearing jeansno protection for legs, but my jacket did save my shoulder though, had i not worn it i'd say it would be pretty smashed, i ended up not making it around an easy right hand bend, too much speed, ended up collecting the rock cliff face right on verge of road..... scraped along it 4 1.5m then bike veered off to the otherside of road on its side, i luckily had fallen onto the left side of bike by then so no gravel rash, but still nothing to be proud of, quite ashamed really, ego's taken a knock

It's not speed that kills, it's the idiot in control
Shit sparrow!!!
That really bites. Glad ure not another statistic!!
Good luck with the recovery.
If Phoenix and I can both afford to do the course with andy we will. He was absolutly fantastic when I did my BSH course and I strongly recommended everyone doing it too!
Gold Diggers....like hookers just smarter
I take it you told him that you're the boss and he could shove it up his?
Some interesting points being raised. Guess we'll have to see what happens...
Holy crap Sparrow!Hope you're not too hurt, that's a real bummer! Don't give up riding though, these things can happen. You sure didn't seem like a rider about to have an off when we went for that cruise a few weeks back! Still, hope you patch up well. Just keep your options open, and hopefully we'll see you back again before long.
Soapbox house of cards and glass, so don't go tossing your stones around.
You musta been.... high. You musta been...
Bugger I'm sorry to hear this mate.
Get better soon and get that/a bike back on the road and we will go for another ride.
It only takes a moment for it all to go turtle.
One moment it's all good and fun and then with in a blink of a eye it all goes sky, dirt, sky, dirt and that feeling of pain to let you know it was not a bad dream.
See you soon and have a good Christmas mate.

Feel the fear and do it anyway
Don't confuse education with intelligence.
There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
Yes Sparrow, sorry to here about the crash, unfortunately I must disagree on the statistic comment, he may have avoided being added to the motorcycle fatality count but rest assured he has added himself to the motorcycle injury talley which I'm sure ACC and all those trying to get us off the road will thank him for.
