Hi guys,

On Saturday i was in a bike crash that involved four bikes and five people! We were in a line with about five bike lengths between us doing about 60ish when the lead guy (with his wife on the pillion) lost it on a left hander! His bike then spewed oil + petrol across the rode. The guy following had no where to go and (i think) ran over the first rider. I tried to look up the road but was taken out when the second bike bounced across my path I t-boned it and tumbled along the grass verge. The guy following me straight lined it into some trees and on the way took out a couple of bollards on the way. The first rider and pillion were in quite a bad way (lots of broken bones)! The second was so badly brused he thought he had a broken leg. The fourth guy was sore all over and was hit in the face by his handlebar! I was the only one not to go to hospital but later that night i was hurting really badly. I couldnt walk on my right ankle and i couldnt get my left arm above my head.

When i stood up it was like a war zone! All the details are here:

My bike has been pulled apart! Both yokes have split in half and the only thing holding on the front end is the speedo cable!



The main thing is that no one is dead and it looks like all will be ok in time.

RIDE SAFE YOU GUYS!!
