I had a crash..
last Thursday night, in pouring rain, i lost control of my bike while trying to brake..

looks like its going to be a write off..
my helmet is - a friend of my friend works for Arai, they done the test, sort of x-ray.. he said i was lucky to have that thing on my head and not any other helmet..

my right arm didnt work at all first 2 days, hit the shoulder badly. my head was dizzy and i wanted to throw up all night.. when was taken to hospital that night - they done x-rays, nothing broken. so thats a good thing..

the bad thing - no biking this year for me..

Nooooo!!!!

That sucks! You must be a bit tender and sore at the moment I imagine.

Wow, you poor thing. You'll get your insurance payout and get yourself a new bike soon enough. Good luck with everything and I hope you heal quickly!

Sorry to hear about this SW. Obviously you had concussion. Glad nothing was broken but I know it's painful even without breaking any bones.

Don't let it put you off biking though. Everyone has accidents. Good excuse to start shopping for a new Ducati. You'll be fine.

my friends think I'm mad when I told them it didn't put me off biking

Im still waiting for an engineer to give me a call to arrange a day when he can come over and do his report.
hopefully, I'll get most of my money back. going to do shopping after New Year

P.S. I still didnt tell my mum about my crash

Glade your ok SW, first rule of bike crashes is never ever tell you’re mum about it if you are in
a good enough condition to keep it from her.

Hope your not to sore and get your money though soon.
