Well, here’s the last update about my little accident two years ago today, when my beautiful new 749S was written off by a careless driver doing a u-turn.
I’m still alive and kicking but sadly not biking any more. My main problem is nerve damage, which has left my right arm limp and useless. I don’t know if or when I’ll be able to ride again so I’ve decided not to renew my membership this time.
I’ve enjoyed being part of the DSC and I’ve been the proud owner of three Ducatis. The old M900 (now sitting silently in the garage), a stunning S4 (much loved but had to be traded) and the shiny red 749S (‘nuff said).
I’d love to join in the fun again one day, don’t write me off yet – you never know …..
So, for the good times, cheers everyone and bye for now! Gill x
Hello Gill, not met you (I don't think) but have just read this and am very sorry that you were the victim of such a debilitating accident. I'm glad you're still in love with bikes and hope that you can continue to enjoy the biking scene, if not actually be an active biker.
Gill. having been the victim of a careless u-turning driver in the past, you have my sympathy. I was much luckier on that occasion than you obviously were. I've also had to come back from an injury that included nerve damage. My unsolicited advice is, "Don't Give Up". I wish you all the best and hope to hear you're back on a bike one day soon.
Gill pretty much what everyone else has said I can only say myself, hopefully you'll continue to say hello every month/few months etc, you always have a smile and really are part of the group
