Glad that you are ok . I have learnt my lesson and always dress for the fall . I wear solid plastic body armour and have a extre back protector on my camelbak that's what saved me in my last fall .

You know, yes they're cheap but this is the second major crash I've had with spirit helmets and both times they performed perfectly

Man, that was a big hit Kortbroek!! :eek:

Glad you & the pig are okay. - Man that is a sweet ride you have there.

Take it easy for the next month or two - a concussion is no small thing. Agree with the other guys about the scan, just to be sure.

Dit is nou nie goeie nuus nie! Maar ten minste blyk dit of daar nie te ernstige beserings is nie.

Dit is altyd sleg as iemand val, maar goed om te sien dat die beskermende toerusting werk.

Dit is ook baie goed dat die insident hier gedeel word, want dit laat almal weer dink om sonder al die gear te ry.

Baie sterkte met die herstel!

@Kortbroek, glad you are ok and not too serious injuries. How is the sheep doing?

PS: I have your RAM mount, drop me a PM when you are feeling better :thumleft:
In light of this thread the PS cracked me up.  :imaposer:With a proper RAM mount the sheep might have been more circumspect.

So turns out the only real damage to myself is two broken ribs and a few cracked. Luckily I have a thick skull so the head is fine.

I hope this thread inspires someone to dress for the fall. At times I got a bit blase about it and sometimes downright irritated with the massive dress up for every ride. Was worth it.

Hectic, bly jy is ok!

I get more nervous with goats, sheep seem to stick to their lane, Goats are mofo's.
Klapped one in DeWildt a few years ago on my dirtbike. It literally heard me coming, then waited, then jumped into the road and connected my left hand guard.
I stayed on and he went spinning   :laughing4:

Had to stop and talk to the locals about cost/damages, with this dumb goat lying in the road, but then it got up and walked away. So off I went  :ricky:
