There hasn’t been much in the way of news on the other side of the mountain. Not so much because things haven’t been happening – they always do, with shocking regularity – but more because my perception of things hasn’t been up to the task. It’s a bit like seeing the world on a misty day – the shapes are there, but the colour and detail is washed out.
This might have something to do with having had a double helping of asphalt for breakfast at the end of last week. Scooters are great for cutting through the traffic, but when the traffic tries to cut through a scooter, it all ends in tears. Mine, to be precise. Oddly enough, the scooter came through the ordeal remarkably well. All I had to do was shake the loose bits off and it was good to go.
I wasn’t so lucky. My legs look like something out of a Wes Craven movie. There goes my career as a pantyhose model.

OUCH!! Sorry KN. Hope there is some colour splashed back in day soon.

This is the second accident you’ve posted about – I seem to recall the other was a broken rib or something.

That is why doctors call motocycyclists “organ donors”. Look after yourself. Oh, and tissue oil is great for reducing scars – maybe we can save your pantyhose-modelling career yet! 🙂

Sounds painful, sorry to hear about the fall.
However, you may be a bit wrong about the pantyhose modelling being a non-starter as it sounds like your legs are nicely laddered now.
You could become the ultimate realistic pantyhose model.

I just hope my other half doesn’t see this post. As it is she won’t let me get a motorbike. If she reads this, there won’t even be a scooter at the end of the tunnel.
Get well soon and I, too, am expecting some leg-modelling-pics!

Did you ever see the pics of Barry Sheen’s X-rays? He had more stainless steel plates and screws in his legs than bones.
You could, of course, go into modelling biking leathers.

Thankfully it wasn’t your face. Do you have one of those full face helmets? I had one on when my scooter dumped me years ago and it saved my face from being scraped along the highway. We wouldn’t want your precious good looks to be wasted like that. Although, chicks do dig scars. Hmmm…maybe you should start wearing full leathers too when you go scootering. It’s really quite sexy. Scars and leather. Yeah, that’s good.

Spookie: And fewer stars, preferably.
Katt: Okay, but the $20 application fee and a picture of yourself in the nude also applies here.
