Default 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...

pics...









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...
