Bloody hell it hurts

[RobWhi]

Doing one of my regular trips down to Canberra when the COVID restrictions allow.

Always looking for different routes to take and the one I took yesterday to me on a dirt section
which never worries me after about 30mins maybe came up to a corner which had a heap of loose
rock on it going well until the camber change drastically and just couldn’t get the bike to turn.
I went to lay it down and it high sided me a fair way down the road. Maybe I was getting a bit impatient
and was traveling a bit quicker than I should of. Probably doing 30-40kph.
Result 8 broken Ribs and broken collarbone.
The pain is excruciating to say the least and staying for a while at Lismore hospital.

Bent Rocket that doesn’t look too bad as the panniers took the brunt of the crash

Ouch!!! Glad you got to walk away though.

Is it too early to make you laugh to see if that hurts more?

Glad youre relatively ok.

OMG. I avoid dirt / gravel roads as I have enough trouble on paved roads getting the Rocket around conners.

Heal quickly my friend.

Sorry to hear that. I cracked two skiing (well, not skiing as it were) and it hurt for months. 8 must be horrible.

Eight broken ribs?!? That's got to be close to the record. I guess you'll be taking it easy for a while.
