Re: Random thoughts after crashing
Thanks for the get-wells guys - I'll put up some pics later today. 

I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

Re: Random thoughts after crashing
Get well soon Ron. I had a brain fart on the Oxely on the way home myself and did the old target fixation thing on this ludicrously piss weak right hander
Had a brain fart, off into the scrub I go, broken r footpeg bracket, cracked rh fairing and a scratch on the frame
Least the bike was rideable though so it was just a matter of swallowing pride, picking up bike and moving onwards, got it welded in Taree, now comes the debate on whether to claim or not to claim..

Re: Random thoughts after crashing
Sorry to hear you had a stack Ron, but very happy to hear you are ok. Take care of yourself. I've heard rum helps loosen up the stiff muscles

Bugger Ron, hope you and your ride will be OK for the upcoming trackday. Now that you've scratched it up you can have a real go at the track

Re: Random thoughts after crashing
So sorry to read about your off Ron!
Hope you and your baby are on the mend soon! That kevlar can be rough huh? I got an exhaust burn through my draggins- no apparent damage on jeans- lots of damage on skin!
Sending healing wishes your way.
