Well boys and girls

currently speaking to you from Sunninghill hospital A&E.
Took the smoker out and towards the end of the session she decided to nip up.
Not a problem except i was flat through Kyalami turn 1 at about 190 kph.
So, queue the mother of all highsides quickly followed by a broken left wrist.
Hey ho.

Bugger. Hope you're not feeling too banged up. Wrists are bloody painful, niggly things to break aren't they.

Ooh titanium. When it comes out you can make something for your bike out of it.

Just think how much lighter you'll be too not that you've got some titanium in you - must be worth a 10bhp/tonne increase biggrin

I think it'll stay in. Ive asked the surgeon to feel free with the Ti. I've always wanted to be 80kgs!!!

hehe

If he uses bolts to, he might get you down to 75kg. Ti bolts sell well so they must be good.

Joking apart ask him what percent Ti Al alloy they use? I'm curious.

I broke both of mine (and fingers and a thumb) about 10 years ago on a pushbike. It hurt. Alot.

hope you recover well

I was back riding my pushbike with casts on after a week or so. Once the movement is taken away nothing hurts
