The above hospital picture is of me in hospital in Tauranga after I came out of the coma. Here’s a couple of pics of the hardware I now have in my spine as a result of the crash.
Be safe out there guys.

Great looking bike. I'm sure FortNine hasn't seen an order from you since that review.

Well, the price he was asking for his was quite a bit more than the going rate, so I think he liked it a lot more than he was letting on.  |

Beautiful day on Finn Slough (on the worst bike of the 80's) . I thought that the Yamaha Vision (my first bike!) was the worst bike of the 1980s? |

I guess I've been fairly lucky with my choices of bikes over the years......with the exception of the first three, all British, and troublesome. Since then I can't really recall any disasters, just a few that really didn't suit my riding style, so didn't last long. I had the Suzuki GS-1000-G for 20 years, and the '81 CBX for 20 years. Not bad for a fickle guy like myself.

OH STOP IT ALREADY WITH THE PICTURES. You make me feel BAD. Tucked my bike away in the storage shed today after a low mileage year. "Maybe next year will be better? He said hopefully.
