Just been to Conway ward in YG to visit my friend Matt Lawson who had a bad off at Trac Mon on Sunday. He is seriously one lucky guy, his crash was bascially a massive aquaplane in top gear going up to rocket 1. He went onto the grass and had to jump off at 100mph +. He has two unstable spinal vertrabae and was initially told he could go home! On further examination he was told to stay, re xrayed and the injury pin pointed. He is now flat on his back and waiting for a spinal brace to be fitted. Very lucky he didn't go home, I'm sure you can work out what could have happened, if he did would could have proven serious. GWS Matt. He wishes Paul and Bradders all the best with thier injuires and speedy recoveries.

Matt didn't say, but thats one awful call to get wrong, and the implications are life changing.

I was rolling the grip back up there as it was aquaplaning, Matt must have kept it pinned. Thinking of you buddy, GWS. Thanks for the update Si.

After just recovering from a broken Tib and Fib back in January, i would like to echo the GWS to all those who have fallen at Anglesey. Things will get better and I wish you all a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. What's more, if you live locally, I'm happy to come over and keep the bike ticking over while you convalesce!

Bloody hell guys, we leave you to play on you're own and look what happens. Genuinely shocked at the news of all the offs. Seen that Bradders is bashed up and Matt looks even more serious. How's PP? Not seen an update?
Hope everyone else got by unscathed.
Take it easy guys and get mended quickly.

Paul Payne was walking about, but ribs badly thumped, he was hurting and may get a bit worse before starting to get better. But a bit of a southern softie

I got off (well, was knocked off) lightly compared to the rest.
Concussed, but didn't realise until I was told , a couple of possibly cracked ribs and am getting my leg checked out tomorrow as it still hurts but there is no bruising only a bit of swelling, so I may have cracked something there too.
Will give Oulton a miss but aim to be back at Cadwell as so far I've qualified 4th, 3rd, then 2nd.........

GWS to all the rest of you.


PS I'm not the one that needs a big soft b0ll0ck cushion on their tank............soft southerners indeed!


Paul

15th year in DD #68 and getting slower by the year
