[QUOTE="Andrewaust, post: 82086, member: 936"] Hi James Things did get better, but as you have learnt the changing weather will make you ache. But I was lucky, it was a 120khr velocity crash, both vehicles including his car write off's, It wasn't just the back that got broken, I had head injuries, broken arm, rotor cuff tear to right shoulder, torn ACL and PCL to left knee along with a host of other injuries including internal bleeding. Just to make me feel better a mate who was a patrol officer and on duty at the time said the officers who attended the scene said it should have been a fatal, just wasn't my time I guess. Unfortunately I've never fully recovered from the crash but still ride, my racing days finished that day, and 3 years of rehab felt like eternity, but it does provide some hope to those who are injured and feel they will never ride again. The latest trip to hospital went horribly wrong, they overdosed me twice and injected me with a heap of air, that was June last year and still getting through that, but just try and get on with life as some are not as fortunate. Hope 2012 is a better year for us hey!! A ;) [/QUOTE]
