Back on two wheels!

[Mister James]

Well, I finally plucked up the courage today to get the scooter re-insured and have a little pootle around town to get my nerve back.

I enjoyed it so much I threw caution to the wind, packed a shirt and tie and rode the 15 miles across London to work to show my face and see what the score is about coming back!

My areox 100 is in tire need of a service, but I had a fair bit of fun, and it felt great considering I was seriously worried about being able to get back on a bike - mentally and physically. Luckily on the physical side, the scooter weighs less than me, so if I can stand up myself, I can easily keep it balanced!

You've never seen a more careful rider though, lifesavers perfect, mirror checks at the right moments, no risky overtakes or pull-outs - all by the book! Was a little wary of riding past the scene of the accident, but luckily there were no middle aged eastern european women in sportscars lying in ambush this time.

My manager seems fairly keen to have me back when I want, I've suggested next week, so as long as the big boss ok's it, I'll be back on light duties as of monday!

Hopefully I'll be able to wangle something cushy to relax, exercise and maybe build up some experience in a field I've not spent too much time in. My big worry at the moment is being stuck somewhere for the whole 6 month period as usual.

Nice one, shows true commitment! Well done, you'll be back out there on a mad machine in no time now.

Well done that man

Takes some conkers to get back on a bike after an accident like yours, made worse by it being on your route to work.

Again, well done

Well done mate

What are the chances of being back on a proper bike by the summer?
Have the docs given you a timescale yet?

[Mister James]

Doctors are pretty much happy for me to do pretty much anything now, with the exception of warning me off high-impact exercise.

I should be back up to a reasonable strength/fitness level in a month or two - the actual limit on a new big bike is waiting for the compo to roll in, which will probably be even longer!

Well done mate, .

I know exactly how it feels. I was back on my bike (the one I crashed on, and spent 3 weeks in hospital) the same day I had my cast off. Shouldn't of really, because I didn't even know if my shoulder was strong enough to turn the bars, but I'm glad I did.
