I was happy to be able to just walk away from it with only minor injuries!
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Its such a shame that there are so many accidents amougst us. 90% will always be sombody elses fault.

Since this accident I have been seriously put off riding / racing and I'm a very bad car passenger. Nothing like crashing on the race circuit. Personally I believe racing is safer.
it is by far unless its a freak accident as of late alot of my bike mates think there invinsable when they don there onepice leathers :roll: i think out of 20 or so 2 are dead and over half limp or have fussed joints in there arms or shoulders some p155 themselfs at my ped now :lol: altho i know its just jest
We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm

Broken collarbone and humerus (not in the slightest bit funny to brake ;) ). Just glad I had proper gloves and coat on that saved my elbow and knuckle for sure....i'd only had my new winter gloves a week too!!
