Went to my first physio sesion today.. back in the day it was heat lamps, massage and manipulation for an hour, now its 10 mins of talking shit, a brief examination and walk ya through a few exercises to do at home. All done in 15, thanks for coming see ya in 2 weeks.
physio kept me waiting 20 mins, blamed the reception for not letting her know i was there.

Not today, but a couple of days ago, visited what is said to be the only motorcycle museum in Finland, here in Lahti. Not huge, but has some interesting motorcycles on display. There is also a Royal Enfield dealership and an Ace Cafe sharing the premises.
Some random pictures.

Thanks maaaaate!
Anyway, I have been on my Cairns to Cape York trip on DRZ 400’s and on day 4 I crashed in soft sand, which would have been ok, but Trent ploughed into my back and heavily impacted me breaking 6 ribs and totally winding me. I was a fucking stunned mullet for about 30 sec or so and it took me ages to get myself together. Anyway, I finished the day and the two following ones on the soft option, then spent two days in Cairns before flying home. That was when I went to hospital and they scanned me. This mornings surgical team gave me a massive bollocking for flying home and then they teased me about getting a big bollocking! WTF!
Also have a bit of blood in the bottom of my lungs so have shortness of breath. I need some concrete pills! Anyway they will let me home tomorrow. Just in time for my mates funeral. He fell off his bike on a bridge, busted his ribs, punctured his lungs and died there alone. Fucking tragic…
First off, sorry to hear about your mate - truly tragic.
Second, I'm glad you're not worse off than you are...not that 6 ribs and a punctured lung isn't enough, bloody painful. You are lucky to have been flying with that - it could've got much worse under pressure (or lack of it).
Ultimately though it's no excuse for extended non posting - take a leaf out of @WAYNE s book; he always lets us know in a day or so when he's crashed
Haha, classic!Ultimately though it's no excuse for extended non posting - take a leaf out of @WAYNE s book; he always lets us know in a day or so when he's crashed
Thanks though! I honestly had no idea it was that bad. Still havent seen the xrays. But because there was no bruising, I thought I was just being a pussy.
No not a pussy - I've had broken ribs and it's pretty debilitating - you did well carrying on for a couple of days.
Watch out for the imminent chest infection following broken ribs.
It’s going to hurt.
Sorry to hear about both bits of bad news dude and to prove it im not going to be my normal hilarious self today so you don't have to laugh.. I hope you recover quickly dude
Apparently proper physio with appropriate pain relief pretty much sorts that. So the lovely Natalie said. Or somesuch, wasn't really paying attention…
Ditto...........Sorry to hear about both bits of bad news dude and to prove it im not going to be my normal hilarious self today so you don't have to laugh.. I hope you recover quickly dude
Sorry to read about your friends tragic accident and your bad news too. I hope you recover quickly and fully.
From experience i know broken ribs can be excruciatingly painful. Try not to cough, sneeze and especially try not to laugh, that's the worst pain from memory.
I love the DRZ400s It is so forgiving It has been crashed more times than I care to remember not just by me, it seems that the rider always comes off worse. They just keep going.
My condolences on the loss of your friend and wishing you a quick and complete recovery.

Big love bro, sorry to hear about ya mates passing. Giz a bell when ya not being such a nancy over ya ribs and I'll come visit..you will have to make the tea though as my arm hurts...
@Laava My deepest condolences for the loss of your friend chap. I know saying at least he went out doing the thing he loved, motorcycling with a group of mates seems enough, but it only takes the edge off. I'm sure your group will all deal with it in different ways but you are all there for each other
As to your own injuries, a bit of a close call but imagine going all through that and then you get
Man, you just can't catch a break can ya

Thought for Today
From the dozy cow who jams the car between 2 balls of shit micras at the front door of the supermarket and considers it a result ?
Done nothing for two days. Stuck indoors with a raging temperature, sweat rolling off me and shaking like a dog shitting razor blades. No idea why. Seems to be happening more and more often. Should have gone to bed hours ago but I feel worse when I lie down so sleep deprivation probably doesn't help.
Do you have any single malt whisky in the house - would recommend at least half a bottle
No. Thought about it but didn't think driving to Tesco was a good idea the way I feel. When I'm ill I've always liked a toddy. Whisky or brandy with lemon and a splash of hot water. Medicinal innit.. Doesn't count as drinking.Do you have any single malt whisky in the house - would recommend at least half a bottle
I always swear by whisky if I feel shit, experience says you have no cold or hangover the next morning - which is nice
