About day 3 is when the harshness of the cold reality of the hit & run kicks in.🫤

I am discharged now and headed home where the little things become the big things - crutches, handfuls of pills, chicken soup and the hourly emotional roller coaster. I just brushed my teeth and now need to recover.
And I’m alive and sound of mind to type this to my online community. Every message of support here means tons - it brings in positive energy into my world. My son bought me Pika, as he calls it, to help me get better. 😌

The next big milestone is follow-up with the orthopaedic surgeon. And another achievement maybe shaving later this morning. 🎯

Be safe out there, Peoples. 💟

Dale, really glad that things are looking up for you.

 

BUT

 

You have let your standards drop, I thought you were always and advocate of long socks and non of the secret socks would ever do .... what are these man!

Hey Dale ... if that was a steel bike you could just brush it off and ride her again

Me.

I was warming up to meet my training group this morning and was inside the yellow shoulder on the way to Cape Town stadium. Then the TV channel switched and I was flung somewhere and, getting up, I couldn’t see the car. The rear view mirror and fender guard left behind on the scene was off a Renault Kwid, not many of them around.

 I am privileged to have an excellent health care network around me and hope to fully recover - very eina right leg, fractured ribs and scrapes and bruises, fortunately my spine and brain intact.

I am a lucky man. Please send healing vibes, Peoples.💛

Flip Dale, some serious healing vibes your way man

 

EDIT: Looks like a good bit of blood on the tar too!

Only when above 25kmph but before that they move it

Like you have ever cycled faster than 25km on your bicycles, including going down hill

NOTHING comes remotely close to feeling the sting of the spray as you exit the barrel in the midst of the blow-out. Billabong coined it when they said "Only a surfer knows the feeling". 

If you've experienced how time slows down inside a tube then you know, and you are part of a very select few lucky people on earth. For the rest, they will forever be chasing something they don't know they need.

experienced that feeling while body boarding (No jokes from the surfers please), riding a horse and being chased by a bull doing your first jump over a big trench, running with a rugby ball, fighting in the ring ........... waiting for your pay to clear as a youth

Honda are currently offering a 50K discount on the Africa Twins ... in conversation with them today, the CT branch, you can get the manual on the road for just under R205K

so if this runs on mineral oil would one still need to degas your fluid like with the "normal" SRAM brakes ... and will the bleeding process be far simpler like with a (Spit) Shimano brake set?
