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

Renos are cool!

[emaN]

hmmm, sounds yummy mike. as you say though, great that the 'important' bits weren't damaged!

(i'd read rotor's post/brief mention of riding with a young fulla who came off - had no idea it was you though)

[MidnightMike]

Sooooooo how is the bike??

I havent seen it. I could only see the back where the tail light was smashed etc. But according to shane I got a bit more nailed than my bike.

ouch heal up fast bro.

and you are still allowed at the pub even though you dont have a bike ya know

Yea, its just a case of getting around. I dont have a wheelchair to get round on. Just the office chair which is ridiculous......

Renos are cool!

Not Meganes!

Get well soon Mike, Bummer about the bike but really doesn't matter as long as you come out ok. See you up and about soon.

We'll see whats left of the front fairing when we go to pick it up...

But Im not sure what you would do to keep the original dials.

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.
