Thanks guys in all honesty I don't know what made me crash I was not pushing. I know this due to being totally chilled I was sat behind a car they let me over take by putting there indicator on. I was then straight into a bend lent the bike over and tapped the power no hand fistedness the next thing I'm on the floor spinning. Of cause I ran out of talent but how i don't know. Skidding on the floor I hit a small kerb which flipped me over and then hit a 4 inch curb with my back that did the damage. Small lung puncture was me holding my breath at point of impact.

Bikes a write off I'm In hospital till tomorrow I hope bloody sore but ok.

The leathers got cut off but all the ambulance team and the a&e were really impressed with them. As they had done there job. Helmets shagged boots ok gloves fine.
