Hi guys,
News on the weekend at the Norschlieffe.
Well I binned it.!
The bike is busted. rear shock parted company with the chassis and so it became a low rider, and that is just about it, the shocklink collapsed as it hit the armco barrier, was unable to ride it so had to be recovered (180 euros) to a local garage in Adenau, BMW assist will repatriate the bike back to the UK.
I am OK.
Whacked my left shoulder, left side ribs are tender, so no larfing, left foot took a whack as I went down (lost front end on the Mini Carousel), foot badly swollen and really sore, so I am walking very painfully and can only wear LARGE shoes or sandals.
Will be OK by silverstone which has also been booked.
Should have some piccies to post when I get them of the bike and the d'mage (French).
Been signed off sick for two weeks, so hobbling around the house, feeling sorry for my self.
Got some pills from the Docs to take for pain and swelling.
Lucky it wasnt the duke I took.
That would have made me cry and probably done more d'mage at it is more fragile that a big K1200 BMW Sport.
Keep ya'all posted.
Mark.
Hey Mark... Sorry to hear that mate but glad you are reasonbly OK. Try a splash of vodka with the painkillers! Won't help with the walking but then ya should'nt need too after a few! On a more serious note, get a tube of "Arnica" from the pharmacist, it is really good for bringing out the bruising and aids healing much faster.
