    Anyway, the hypocrisyconscience-o-meter is pretty untroubled....

    Doc's verdict:
    Broken right toe, cracked rib, torn/stretched ligament on inside left
    knee and mighty bruising on the chest.

  13. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "sweller"
    To be fair, after nutting an Armco and doing a triple salsa with
    backward twist, you got off lightly.

    No collar bone? Result.

    At least you didn't do a LN and limp around on the broken toe until it was
    rotted enough to fall off the foot.

    Commiserations, man. Chest injuries, especially ribs, hurt for
    fucking *ages*.

    You need a copy of the Little Red Book in hardback for next time -
    large format preferred.

    ouch ouch ouch.

    Still, nothing that requires a cast, so you can still ride. Watch out
    for broken toes - I broke the little toe on my right foot by kicking a
    coffee table (don't ask), and subsequently re-broke it about 4-5 times
    over the next two years bumping into things bare-foot.

    You probably want to avoid laughing with that chest damage - avoid
    reading AndyR's stuff, but you should probably be safe enough with
    Porl's at the moment[1]


    [1] *hugz* to Porl.

    It's the same toe I broke dropping a Morris Minor engine on - whilst
    wearing desert boots (fortunately they were black so didn't show the
    mark), when a pedal box on a Mk 4 Cortina 'exploded' and whilst drunk (no
    idea how).

    it's tales like the above that remind me why I pay people to fix
    mechanical things.

    Now you know why the Russians drink so much vodka.
