YAY found out today coppas aint going to charge me with anything over my crash due to the witness that I nearly ran over saying that he was standing on the side of the road
those of you that are going to do any rideing east of tauranga be carefull this weekend, the killer bees & tribesmen are haveing a poker run in murapara & surounding area. the police said they will be keeping a close eye on the area, they are putting more police in the area. (nz,Herald today,)
As some of you will know I’ve had a bit of a crash up at the Coromandel hill on Wednesday. Im keeping some details of it off KB. But basically I came off at about 70-80k’s and went off the road blah blah blah…… Thames hospital on Wednesday, Waikato on Thursday etc.
I’ve got nothing on Calvin (you tough bastard) I was lucky to come off so well.
So I’ve got 20 something stitches inside my mouth, holding my bottom lip and chin onto my jaw. Then some more on my right hand from where something (probably a rock on the side of the road) sliced straight through my glove and made a good steak thickness bit of meat stick up off my palm. At the moment I’m getting around on an office chair because my left foot/ ankle and right knee are a little bit munted so I can only stand up but cant walk by myself. Also because a wheelchair is too wide to fit in the doors at our place.
But other than that its just a case of feeling like shit and a few cuts and bruises etc A few of which are on my face (I might have gone head first I don’t know, I cant remember the impact I was knocked out for a bit) So its good that the important bits like my neck/back weren’t damaged. I’m glad that it didn’t turn out worse.
I guess I wont see most of you for a while but this definitely isn’t a ‘Have a fat cry and get a Renault Megane’ sort of a post – I will get back on a bike but just need a bit of time to sort things out.
A huge thanks to Shane (Rotor on KB) Who I ha just met up with in Coromandel town and was riding with. He turned around, found me and my bike and organised the Ambulance as well as taking my bike and some off my gear to his mates place so I can pick it up later on. What a legend.
