Ouch! :shock: that looks a bit hairy.
Unlucky Nick, sorry to hear you've had a slide.
You looked remarkably cheerful in the pics.


Hope you recover quickly,
(and if there's anything you need doing
to your leathers I'm sure someone will bring them out to me to get sorted for you bud!) :wink:

Thanx for all the well wishes guys, & pm's, calls and texts... :P

I will now explain the EXACT reason behind my crash...

I was riding into a left hand bend, well within my limits and on a good line, when I suddenly spotted the lane on the right...

Now my cr@p eyes told my dopey brain that this was a 'T' junction and I was about to be out of road to stop on...

I panicked, stood on and locked the back brake, which sat me up and headed me across the opposite lane towards where I was looking...

A couple of skids and slides later, I was on the gravel and grass and it was time to go in head first, or lay her down and go along for the ride, so down she went...

As you can see from the photos in the other thread, the bike skipped the ditch, and I went in...

So there you have it... The bike was mechanically fine, road conditions perfect, no excuses... I f**ked up... :oops: :cry:

Note to self 'Must where glasses when riding'... :roll:

I take my hat off to you for looking so upbeat and cheery in the post crash pics - a broken collarbone is bloody painfull. You are obviously hard as a coffin nail :)

Get well soon Nick.

From what I've been told, Nick was just coming down from a 180MPH one handed wheelie, he noticed the corner was quite sharp so naturally started to back it in, he was still backing it in side ways as well as dragging his knee when he noticed the stream ahead, he was also quite thirsty so decided to back it straight into a stream. He decided to break his collar bone so people wouldnt realise he meant to do it.
