Wednesday 2nd February

The second best feeling in the world is riding a motorcycle on one wheel. At the other end of the spectrum is being thrown off backwards and breaking your back! I did both things yesterday.....

I was moto crossing off road with avery nice KTM competition bike ...... I got carried away and forgot that I was not 21 anymore.

I have never experienced pain like that in my life. It was difficult to remain concious. I have been in hospital since and filled with morphine awaiting evacuation to a private hospital in Penang where I will have an operation to insert a significant quantity of stailess steel to try to stabilise and reinforce the spine. The fracture is dangerously unstable but my ripping six pack is holding it all together at the moment.....

Apologies to all those I have let down by dropping my guard for a moment.
