Re: Can you spot what's wrong?
Ok, some answers:
Mirrors are left on as that's where my 'launch crew' catch me when I come back in, also I have the hazards on so that I can be identified. Velcro on knees is needed to keep my legs in, so no knee-sliders. Wheels and tires on right way. However..... those eagle eyed will have spotted that my right foot has fallen off the right peg and I am about to run over it with the back tire. Luckily I didn't go over any further or the foot would have been pulled under by the back tire and I don't really want to think of the consequences. The foot had fallen off going over a bump at a previous corner, so I was unaware until I hit about 120 mph on the main runway and my right side was bouncing a lot. Looking down I saw the leg off, but the runway being 1.2miles long meant it was a long time being dragged along the tarmac until I got help form the next set of marshalls. If the runway have been much longer I would have lost some of my foot as the boot had nearly worn through. I now have more velcro on my boot to stop the foot from bouncing off! |

Lucky it wasn't any worse, lad, but good on you for keeping on riding. I'm awestruck when I see posts about disabled riders still doing what they love, makes me feel quite inferior. |
Re: Can you spot what's wrong?
^^Agreed. I've seen a vid of an right-arm-and-leg amputee riding a track... Imagine looking down and seeing your leg dragging along the tarmac without realising like Talan!
