An early retirement

ali · 20-Apr-2006, 18:17

Arse.

No bone growth at all on my collarbone means no racing. Just had an x-ray today and the plates bent, pins pulling out, hurting like crap.....

I'm going to need to go under the knife again before it'll start to heal, then there'll be another 4-6 months recovery, so my season ends here.

I'm totally gutted, but it means that somebody else might have the chance to use the bike for a round or two. (Just picked it up from PDQ yesterday, making a healthy 63bhp).

Will of course be at as many rounds as I can get to.

Cheers,

Ali

Ali ,sorry to hear such dissapointing news. Some of your competitors may be smiling, but I think they would really be happier to see you mixing it on the grid. Im sure your presence in the paddock and grandstand will be just as well appreciated by all. Regards 4D

Mate, I am completely gutted for you. You were looking very good on that bike too - it's a real shame.

Well I stole it ... but I'm sure Billy Corgan wouldn't mind too much ... he's an artistic sort.
