Hey Dai.
Ain't life great
Dakota
Didnt work out the wayu things were planned.
Spent Friday evening in Auckland Hospital emergency dept.
Victim of a "hit and run".
Damm car thought he had more right to the space on the motorway that me and my bike were using.
Swerved into the gap, slammed on the brakes, I swerved to avoid him/her clipped the back left side of the car and slid down the road.
It was wet, cold, dark and rush hour so all i could see were the lights of the other vehicles bearing down on me.
Broken collarbone, bruising and such.
Bike has a cracked crankcase cover, broken clutch and a lot of scars.
Did have the mates around Saturday, we did watch the movies, we did drink the beer and rum as well as a bottle of mescal each. What a damm good pain killer.
Off work for a week or so. repairing the bike as it is my only transport.
Costing me about $1000NZ to fix the bike plus new helmet, gloves, jacket, over trousers and boots (all worn through by the tarmac).
Gotta go back to the hospital tonight as my closest cousin (Michael Moodie) at the age of 56 has been given 5-10 days left on this earth. The big C. I'm off to say goodbye and thank him for being my cuz.
Other than all the above, yes I do agree. ISNT LIFE GREAT
