yeah, its not the cleverest thing ive done in a while.

i rang the hospital to make sure my condition wouldn't compromise anything.. it seems my white platelets are high enough to sustain bruised/broken ribs and a bruised hip... although i couldn't be arsed sittin in A&E tonight.. maybe tomorrow :/ bwahahhaha my chest has titanium in it so that should be ok !!

i think the bike hit my hip and apparently my legs got run over, the ribs are from falling .... my gear is knackered, helmet, jacket etc looks decidedly second hand.

I wonder if Manukau city council will come to the party?

oooh the functioning synapse just kicked in, just thinking whether it might not be worth mentioning the running over bit, being a legal requirement to report all injury related crashes, failure to stop in correct distance etc etc......... obviously all the injuries were from the fall eh.....

Monster S4? If so, how was it? Been meaning to try one, hopefully not nearly as boring as the M900.

Phff, road bikes are way better on rough ground than everyone says they are. They go over New Zealand roads all the time!

It thumped, had great Torque, ran out of revs way too easily, false neutrals were rampant; it thumped, things fell off. its shit on gravel... AWESOME in the tight stuff. the front is light and flighty under acceleration and likes to shake. I i don't believe it touches the ground. Around corners, tight or flowing, its easy to use the bars and say here we go. the suspension needs some help as Dodgey Matt turned it up hard but it was still too spongy.

i couldn't for the life of me get my right foot tucked in because of the exhaust.. so my toes scraped the floor... every corner

its shite on gravel.. great on tarmac and well worth a hoon in the tight stuff... oh.. and it thumped..... gotta love a VTWIN
