just thought id let you all know that i wont be riding for the next few weeks. was riding home from having been out for ride down to southhampton on sunday [27th] when we had got back to basingstoke i came off on a roundabout [hita patch of something slippery, managed to stay on, but then the bike got caught in a fairly deep rut. which fired me into the crash barrier. therefore i ended up in hospital. mate who was ridng behind me and saw everything stoped and rushd over [id hit the barrier and flipped over the central reservaion] a very nice lady came rusing over immeadiatly after too- calling an ambulance and telling me not to move. to cut a long story short ended up having both bones in right leg broke- below the knee and lost a fair amount of blood . had surgery sun night to have a pin hammered into the big bone, and surgery again yesterday to check it clean it and close the wound. other than that no other injuries. just hoping to get out of hospital soon. policeman who turned up were wel impressed with all the ridng gear- esp the back protector. hate to have knon what couldve been damagd without it.

i will ride again at somepoint in the future. looking back at what happened there was othing much i could;ve really done about it. was riding stupidly, or dangerously only goin about 20mph on a fair sized roundabout, wasnt trying to get knee down or anthing. was just riding home from a good day out with a mate, and got caught out by a piece of appaling road surface

oh well it couldve been worse though i guess

You need to update your signature

Get a grip.

You may have a visitor this afternoon, depending if I can be bothered.
