Apparently they don't like the shorts tshirt thing in the USA. LOL
Ok, well today a loooong run of injury free motorcycling came to an end. At Crow hill MX track fro the first day of the season on track, and the first day on my new bike on said track. I was just feeling my way and I had added some oil to the forks to reduce bottoming off the small triples.
Second lap in to session three and the ruts were starting to form on the jump faces. I was just a tad lazy lining up the 50 table top, and did not hit the rut straight. Hard on the gas in 4th the bike snapped sideways just before take off. I tried pinning the throttle on landing, but it wasn't enough and I high sided after landing sideways, bashing the handlebars on the way over.
I was pretty stunned as I came to realize what happened. After struggling to re-start my breathing, I got to my hands and knees, but could not get up. First sign that something was wrong... I didn't want to call for the ambulance, but I was not walking off that track today, so I took the ride in the bus.
I broke rib #7 in back, right over my spleen. This required a CT scan to clear me from internal injuries. All's good there. Just going to be good and sore for the next month or two.
Thanks to Kerry Smith for taking care of me today, and the crew for helping her load up!
great to see you posting, heal fast! we knew something didn't seem right when track went silent and no Paul I saw some squirrelly landings on that jump. a kid ate it good over behind finish line jump after your wreck

Well shit man, don't be setting examples like that! Heal well and quickly.
*Note to self- no 4th gear full throttle launches off rutted jump faces.

Sorry to hear. Glad the spleen didn't rupture. I ruptured mine in 1976 from the handlebar. It is a lot of internal bleeding. Heal quickly
