Hey guys, although i am not exactly new to the site i thought i better post in here first. Its been a while since i have been on the site due to some interesting life diversions
. I was involved in a bit of an accident at a trackday at assen in may 2011 where some asshole ping-ponged off another bike into the back of me sending me flying through the air at great speed ending up almost tearing my ear off (never wear sunglasses in your helmet) and a broken neck. This put me out of action for pretty much the rest of 2011(the bike was more or less fine apart from the exhaust being right angled where the guy hit me, it basically just sat upright after i was thrown off and slowed down before gently falling on its side in the gravel).
2012 came and i decided it was time to shake off the broken neck so rather stupidly decided to go on rugby tour in may, ended up tearing a tendon in my hand and having to have it operated on, so that was my summer riding time out with operations to my hand.
Anyway, sunny weather has come and i have polished the bike up a bit, repaired the exhaust and have had a couple of really nice short rides. Now all i have to do is replace the sprocket, the rear foot pegs so i can carry my wife, get some new tires (they are still the same ones from the track day in 2011 and i think have gone off a bit through lack of riding) and replace the upper center cowl then the bike will be as good as new again
Looking forward to wasting a crap load of time on the site again and chatting with you guys
