Title: Get off in the Great White North
Post by: Rob Hilding on July 21, 2009, 02:05:48 PM
First off since 1973.......

Riding my buddies vintage Honda. Mission Raceway Mission, BC

Turn 2 low side - results: bruised ribs and a jammed thumb. Bike: Lost left rearset

My buddy was following me and almost ran over his own bike.....

His comment " Wow, he's really got that thing leaned over - way farther than I ever do -ooops guess that's why" ;D

At your age...

you should be more careful about falling down.

It gets harder and harder to get back up. :-*

Glad you're OK Rob.

You ..............





















Should be more respectful of your elders ;)


BTW - thanks to all for the well wishes

And if the bike had been yellow - I wouldn't have dropped it ;D

Wife insisted i go to Dr. - Got x rays today

Two broken ribs

Treatment and prognosis are identical to what would have happen if I did not go to Dr. etc. [roll]

Did you tell her the Dr. said bed rest for a week, and you must be waited on hand and foot?
