Re: Supervox Down :-( ... But Not Out :-)
Probably because you're off certain meds Jon?
But as I found out, I got better, quicker at home. No one sleeps well in hospital, so its really poor for recovery. Food & tea is always better at home. Hope the pain subsides soon

Re: Supervox Down :-( ... But Not Out :-)
** UPDATE **
Attended the fracture clinic today and had the multiple pressure dressings removed and replaced with a normal dressing over the steri-strips. Apparently the procedure went well despite an unexpected bleed that the surgeon said raised his blood pressure a bit as well as causing some "excitement" in the operating theatre!! The bike has been written off as among other things it requires either a complete engine rebuild or a new engine and that isn't deemed financially viable. I've agreed a valuation with my insurance company so all I have to do is send off the V5 and for the first time in over 14 years I won't own a bike.

On the positive side, winter is the best time to buy a bike as prices are generally lower.

Re: Supervox Down :-( ... But Not Out :-)
Not sure what I'm going to do yet.
It will be several months before I know if there will be any permanent impairment to my shoulder or left arm which could decide for me if or what I ride in the future. The other thing that has been playing on my mind is the look on the boys faces when they saw me lying in A & E - something I never want to see again or for them to have to experience. So, we'll just have to see what the future brings.
