superb.

Sorry to hear about this Mac,



glad they know which way up to store you though. Good start.

I wish you a speedy and comfortable as can be recovery. Yellow peril indeed

After talking to the crasher himself today it seems he did a good bit of riding to get the injury.
Option 1 was to stand the bike up and go into bushes/ditch/field, basically the unknown where who knows what could have happened and how long to find him.
Option 2 was to lean the bike in more and hope you make it round, this option is the hardest to do but usually the best, takes some balls to overcome the instinct to stand it up.

So well done Mac on laying it in, getting your elbow down (Macqueze.... not ) and the broken arm as your prize.............. Could have been much worse if you took option 1.

indeed you see these blokes do it week in week out in moto gp, sbks & bsb... i mean how hard can it be..?

very is the answer...hahaha

they dont have to put up with rutted up surfaces from countless hgv's or shite tarmac or a load of gravel at the edge...

thing is i've been round that roundabout 1000's of times & know it's shite, just got it horribly wrong on tuesday eve... mind wasnt on it, not concentrating...too fast in...hands up own fault...silly boy stupid mistake & painful...


for those of you that have been to the wonderful world of Grain, this is the offending roundabout, off the dule carrigways onto single lane & up the hill, normally i'd go over to the left & sweep round the inside of the ruts then chuck it left off the roundabout...i came in too fast & too far over to the right, that meant i had to cross over the ruts, so stood it up to deal with that bit more braking, realised i was still too fast & wasnt going to stop so lent it back over & hoped for the best...didnt work out how i had planned...

I can report that the nerve block given during the op has now worn off, so feeling a bit sore but i can now feel my fingers...

Indeed mounting the curb, playing with street furniture and rollypolys with the bike and eventually landing in a ditch bouncing out only to end up with you head up a cows butt is never a good outcome. Imagine how the cow would feel.

Get well soon Mac, we will arrange a stabiliser intervention at the next workshop day

Gabbi has kindly offered to fab a set up for me already...

BTW... i will try to box up the Gilles for you but dont hold your breath...one arm & sticky tape may not work out too well...

Although it's a good job i took them off last week...

Oh I would just like to say thank you to those fellow Stormers who have phoned me to wish me well/take the piss/offers of help...

Thank you

FFS Mac ya plonker!

You need to get a bit more meat on ya bones, I was thrown down the M25 at 60(ish) and walked away, you bust a shoulder every time you fecking sneeze!

Rest up and take it easy fella

Would i prefer to be working in this lovely weather ?

Fek yes it would mean i wouldnt be sitting at home, arm in sling, sweating me nuts off but unable to have a shower...Phewww...

Still got an appointment through for 1st follow up at hosp for next monday...so see where we stand...
