I had an off....
 

On the 1 Feb at about 07:50 a minibus taxi did a u-turn in front of me...
I managed to get the bike past the front of the taxi but the left side of my body impacted the taxi...

I had a lung contusion and severe deep tissue bruising on my left shoulder and back.
Im sure my jacket saved my life cause it could have been alot worse...

Sorry to hear about your off, as you say though it could have been a lot worse, hope your'e soon back to your old self.
Time for a rebuild or a change?

ouch. heal soon, glad it was not worse for you (or the bike!)

Na its being fixed up it was mostly cosmetic... Im thinking of selling the SV and getting myself a track bike...
Its becoming to dangerous on South African roads...

Sorry to hear this Shaun, hope you make a full recovery and also get the bike back to it's former glory ;).

Ouch. Hope you're well on the road to recovery :thumbsup:

Thanx guys, Im doing much better already...

Hope you feel better soon.

Bugger, sad state of affairs but atleast your alive and in one piece

Hope you get the old sv back on the road soon :thumbsup:

I'll bet that the beggar drove off as well :shock:
Glad you're doing well.
