Wanted - Sympathy On most of our track days I get little circuit time as I do the Novice and Intermediate classroom tuition sessions. I have spent months trying to find good competent fast racers who can effectively teach their skills to other people in classroom situations. Finally I have found someone, so I was looking forward to getting out on the circuit at on July 4th to do some circuit instruction and enjoy riding with you guys…… Well it isn’t to be……. I was at Donnington trying to set up the suspension on the new bike, coming out of Coppice I had a huge hi-side. I thought ”oh good - I have got away with light bruising” as I was surfing down Starkeys Straight at 100mph on my arse, but then I hit the curbing that flicked me over. The result is a compresion break of 5th and unstable fracture of the 4th metacarpal. Despite a diet of comfrey, almonds and shellfish, I don’t think it’s going to be fixed in time for the GP So I guess I will be doing a special lecture on throttle control!!! |
My goodness! Glad to hear you've got off relatively lightly but it's gotta be a big consolation for you to know that the bike can be easily repaired and Catherine can join us on track with it whilst you "supervise" from the sidelines :P Hope you're back to form soon Gary, looking forward to saying Hi again mate! Paul. :devil: |
Bugger! Always the way though.... luckily I guess you're pretty much in one piece, as has been said you can supervise from the side lines, or make drinks for everyone :lol: Could do with someone tinkering with my suspenders if you fancy a challenge |
Gary .. glad you are ok mate ..... can I sell your place then ???? :lol::lol::lol: |
:o Could have been even nastier!! Hope you heal well. As for the bike ... well, that's what happens to UJM's! At least there's another 4 million of them out there for parts ;) |
Bad luck there Gary..... Nasty corner that Coppice, my similar UJM was leaving black lines coming out of there last time. 'You've got me worried how brave I was now'! Take it easy.. Andy |
Ah yes, Coppice. Broke my collarbone there a few years back :( |
Know how you feel, Gary. Not fun these highsides, are they. Hope you heal quickly. |
Unlucky Gary, hope you're better soon WeeJohnyB |
well, you can have all of mine! Sympathy that is. Means I can pick your brains more while specatating on the 4th... |
