Castle Combe bites back

Castle Combe bit me (again) today and added another to the
smashed collarbones in the series, making a total of
eight so far this season. :-(

I got skittled from behind by an orange bib numpty who
then proceeded to ride over me and the bike. I managed
to get up and off the track but laid the other side of
the armco and just knew my collarbone had gone.

One ride in the ambulance and a rather sweaty me
as the doc removed my leathers, a load of pain killers,
getting picked up by my old man who drove 4+ hours
to come and get me then a trip to Chelmsford A&E,
a blue spongy sling and I'm finally at home.

Leathers and lid are a write off, bike has lots of cosmetic
damage plus a bent zorst where he used me as a braking
marker and probably bearing trouble if it was running
while on it's side.

Isn't racing great!

Oh dear.

The bone's going to smart a bit.

But not as much as the Ursine One leaping about and yelling "I *told*
you so!".

Bugger, sorry to hear this mate.

GWS, etc.

 

Balls. GWS.

 

Bugger, hope everything heals and fixes easily.

 

Your pain is my entertainment.

 

or just get the redundant collar bone fragments removed, like what horse
jockeys do

Yeah, still not quite sure how I managed that but I'm
glad to be of service, I think!

 

Heh, cheeky git

 

Thanks, although I think I still have the spare
pegs you made up for me. They do a brilliant job
of acting like a crash bung while bending and
grinding away, keeping most bits off the floor.

Unfortunately they don't repel attacking numpties.

 

That's taking weight-saving to extremes.

 

Ta. I've already had the collarbone chat with Cobby
yesterday and he said the same. I'm at the fracture
clinic tomorrow so we'll see what happens, but have
a works private policy if I need it.

 

Ouch.

What are you complaining about, you got laid, didn't you?

Fucking hell they're cruel in your area aren't they?

Mmmm, sweaty.

Thanks, I'll see how it goes tomorrow.

 

Four hours? I'm just down the road. We could have collected you and
propped you up on the sofa to laugh at. Beer, drugs and munchies within
reach etc.

Unfortunately the electrics didn't fail today so I had to crash it to
maintain the average "in workshop" time appropriate for this type of
Italian motorbike.

You fumsy clucker. GWS.
