First, thanks for all the get wells ( although I feel like a woose after reading about Tinnie's effort
). You guys are really tops !
Coming home from Syd. M/C show, turning left out of Rooty Hill Rd. onto Richmond Rd. to Windsor @ 40-50 kmh - lean into turn, front end gone, land heavily on LHS, bike slides all the way to the median strip. Two cages and a tow truck stop to help. Then the female passenger of first car( whose eyes are as big as dinner plates
) says " I thought we were going to run over you !"
. So bike is righted and pushed to kerb, towie calls base to get RTA to clean up diesel spill, cages depart, I ride (tentatively) home. To hospital Sat. morning for Xrays etc., then cop station to report accy. for insurance. Recovering nicely with copious doses prescribed by Dr Lindeman !
Cheers all - once again, thanks for caring. Ron.
