Nice to see the update Matt, you sound like your doing things your way :) hope it all heals up fine and we see you at Anglesey

Paul

Glad you are as well as can be expected. Next time leave the horse box behind its just going to confuse the bike :)

Hope you get out at Anglesey

Matt,

Good to see you in good spirit and on the way to recovery, I thought it was very kind of you and Neil to bin it and let me win a race,very generous of you both I thought:lol:
I only caught a glimpse of you disappearing out of site to my left as we went into Gerrards, didn't even know Neil had went down also till we got back to the line.
For the 2nd start I did what felt like a massive wheelie off the line, still had the wheel in the air when I changed to 2nd gear, but after gathering myself I got to the front and stayed there which was good. (Hoped for some pictures of the stunt show on the line, but not seen any yet!!!)

I have broken my collar bone twice and dislocated 3 times, and only once was it really painfull and stopped me using it, so to me it seems a strange injury to know how long it takes to heal. But fronmt eh X-ray yours looks worse than any I have had as they have been single breaks.

Hope you get well soon and we see you out at Anglesey, if not you should hopefully make Snetterton, but I won't be there as I am working.

Steve

Thanks, Steve, no problem, I hope the trophey has a good spot on the sideboard :)

As people keep telling me, "you have to finnish a race to win it".

I still don't know about Anglesey,,,,,,,,

I'm not in much pain but I still can't do much, I still havn't even looked at the bike :( I don't think it's too bad but I don't have many spare parts, I'm hoping that I can get what I need quickly, trouble is I'm really busy at work as well and don't get much spare time.

I'll probably come along even if I'm not ready to race. (someone's got to take the **** out of Neil)

Matt

Matt dude you have to race if you can. Any points are better than 0. To come and watch will only add to the pain.
I'm not counting you out and anyway as I still havn't got a running bike yet.

my friend Ian came round today and started pulling bits off and cleaning out all the stones that were still in it, he found a whole pint glass full of the little blighters half of which were in the cam-belts! lucky we didn't run it, ( it did get run for about 30 seconds at mallory, I guess I'm lucky)

Neal Catlin took some bits away to repair them for me (good bloke Neal) and I have ordered some bits from ebay, not least a new rear master cylindar, and brake calipper

The new fairing I spent a week altering and fitting got smashed to bits, but I'll repair it using bits of the old one and bits of the "new" one.

Ian found that the wire from the kill switch was cut almost all the way through and would have failed soon, probably putting me out of another race! how long would it take to find out why it was completely dead?

all in all the bike looks pretty smashed up but nothing too expensive is broken I broke the brand new brembo fold up lever that are not supposed to break and pulled the brake reservoir off, splitting the rubber hose and getting fluid everywhere.

my carbon fiber mud guard is broke :( I'm not buying another 'cause they cost more than this years repair budget, so I'll have to repair that as well,

the exhaust is bent, i'll bend it straight, Ian took the airbox off and it's full of sand :eek: I've never used a vacuum cleaner on a motorbike before, but Ian told me it was standard practice :roll:

Sounds promising Matt.

RE the kill switch, my crash in qualifying did the same thing so it's now mounted at the front of the top yoke.
