Back on a bike after 9 months

    Most of ye know, I had a bad crash back in September, when I was milled off the bike by a dick in a Merc. My collarbone was broken in 4 places and I had some minor injuries. The bike is still in bits, but I'm (slowly) rebuilding her.

    In the meantime, I transferred ownership to the OH's bike last week and transferred the insurance. So for the first time in 9 months, I got back on 2 wheels today. I admit, I was nervous heading out, but after a few miles on the twisties, it just came back to me. It was weird, it felt like I was never off a bike!

    Had a great spin and looking forward to getting out again soon when the funds allow. :D

    Johnboy,

    Delighted to hear that, really am. You are a biker true and true and it was only a matter of time that you were back, it will be nice for you to be out on something slower instead of zipping everywhere at warp speed on the "9". Enjoy the change of pace....hope all goes well with the shoulder too.

    When I get sorted with a boike Mick and myself will meet up for a spin.

    Yeah, it was screaming when I had it at 140kph, wouldn't go any quicker! I was screaming inside my helmet "come on ya bastid, I could pedal faster!!" :pac: :pac:

    But no point jumping back into it feet first, I'll build back up to it. :D

    Good time to be back in the saddle! I'm in a cast at the moment myself so off the bike for 6 weeks or so. Its frustrating looking out at this weather!

    Has it been 9 months already? Christ! You really must have been going stir crazy not having the two wheels under you. Saw the missus's post on FB alright about you being out. So glad all went well and you got out and about and home in one piece! Sure you'll be back terrorizing car drivers in no time. ;)
