[Cleverlie]

[VINNIE]

[Fingers]

jeese.. i had a top time and didnt even ride i cant wait till the next one!!!

[dungbeetle]

ok pms are out. sorry if ive already pmed you or you have already paid. i just did it en mass!!

[Cleverlie]

Alright ive got some things to work out but im really trying to be able to do this track day.

I have a near enough bald rear tyre so i'll need that changed.

Alright, how much for them to change tyres over down there?

I've just gotta decide if i should do the first track day on slicks or road tyres. If im going slicks then i'll need the front done aswell, do they prefer the tyres to be off the bike or can you just take the bike to them and they do the rest?

[Atom Ant]

hey im keen for this one, can you put me down for a maybe, and ill get myself sorted!

[MATTK6]

mate, unless your riding your bike on the road still, go slicks:ayyy: and it's easy enough to take the rims off a bike yourself to get the tyres changed:ayyy:

[Cleverlie]

i know its easy to take the rims off, i just don't have to equipment.

Does slicks go alright on the road?

[MATTK6]

they do work well on the road, as long as you dont get a wet road or copers dont see ya:lmao:

[shane]

i thought slicks worked like shit on the road unless your really hauling ass to warm them up to good temps? Otherwise it's pretty icy?

[Pepsi]

Ill try and be there for sure, have to see if im working that day, and also hope i havnt pulled the bike apart again for more mods / fiddling.

But im keen and ill keep an eye on the thread

[Yella]

Yeap. For sure, I'm in :ayyy:

I'm out :( I've recently been assigned to night shift and have been checking through the track day dates I've said to attend. This one falls on a Sunday and Sunday night is when the working week begins, so bugger. Not happy when work interferes with track days. :mad:

[dungbeetle]

ill take ya off the list zee...thats a shame, but ill see ya on the 6th:D

[swabio]

hmmm looks like I won't be able to make this one.... :(

[Jordan]

Jordan is Paid. Money should be in the account. THanks

[swabio]

hmm i may be back in for this, but it will be a last minute rush..... not sure! But it will prob be my last op to ride OP before it closes! hmmm really should make an extra effort to ride my fave track once more!

[Bigdog]

hmm i may be back in for this, but it will be a last minute rush..... not sure! But it will prob be my last op to ride OP before it closes! hmmm really should make an extra effort to ride my fave track once more!

Why is that mate??

[kellz]

ill be in as pit bitch again. lol

OP closing, bah its been gonna happen for the last 10 years..

they day i see sign on the gate saying its closed ill believe it.

[TIMMMOAH]

there for sure

[Zippa]

Will transfer some funds this week guys, cheers.

[MATTK6]

just a reminder to everyone going, make sure you double and tripple check the rear axle nut's people:lmao:

[kellz]

and dont let dungy sit on your bike lol

you can blame him matt lol

[MATTK6]

no i cant, he's got a nut washer and axle for me:lmao:

[kellz]

lol true lol

[swabio]

Why is that mate??

I am heading overseas with work for 6 months as of end of may / early june..... so this being OP's final year.... prob my last chance......

I also need new tyres... battery etc for my bike... and am supposed to get my shit sorted and try and enter RD 2 of the PCRA..... so there is a bit to juggle to see if I can do this one!

[striker]

I'm working on this date. I guess that makes me a definite. Most productive use of sick leave that I've ever thought of. See you guys there.

Al I'll PM you and sort out the money after Tuesday. I don't really like to book in for the next track day until I've completed the current bookings. That way if I come off and destroy the bike or myself, I at least haven't lost any money on future bookings

Positive thinker eh!

[trumpst]

john b and I are pretty interested in another - can we use the same 'trackie' if one goes in C and one in D? If so, are the bank details same as the one used for the 6th? Is there a place in each group still?
Thanks

[dungbeetle]

yup bank details are the same mate...just need a reference on there again referring to the 29th.
yup ya shouldnt have a problem using the same bike in different groups. but ill confirm that with james.

striker i know what ya mean. me and kell have just decided to paint the trakky today and rebuild the forks, so mine is in peices all over the garage now. hopefully i get it finished before the 29th.

[MATTK6]

you'll be right dungy, if ya's wanna hand with the prep, let us know if ya's are up here, i'll come down with ya's:ayyy:

[kellz]

might take you up on that next weekend or the weekend after matt...

the prep is 70% done, stripping the tank now, and front fairings are sanded back..

[Fingers]

just a reminder to everyone going, make sure you double and tripple check the rear axle nut's people:lmao:

Yeah you don't wanna drop one off and put your bike out of order for a while!!

[TIMMMOAH]

were do i pay, keen as

[dungbeetle]

pmed ya timmy.....if anyone else needs the account stuff just post up here...

[MadHatter]

I don't think I'll be riding at this one but i'll definitely drop by to see how things are going :)

[JohnB]

whats the G O ............ well the G O is something like this :ninja: :mod_smilie_rockwoot

once you have done the buzz with the powers to be that run things here, you turn up at the track on time ready to ride. Meet like minded people who will answer any questions or lend any help needed. I havent found a rat in the pack so to speak :clap:

some small things to remember: bring full leathers, bike in good working order, money for extra fuel etc, your brain which means no hangover from night before.

see you all there :-)

[Irena]

Hi Roy, I forgot to tell you, Im going to be your pit bitch for this day:mod_smilie_rockwoot

[Madmax01]

Yep time for me to come out to play
all these new tracks to try :ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

pmed ya max...seeya there..:D

[dungbeetle]

just a reminder to everyone. vin will be doin brekky like usual. get there between 730 and 8 for some awesome and really cheap bacon and egg sandwiches. bbq will be on for lunch as well so we can have some decent and reasonably priced tucker. and we will have 4 garages again so there will be plenty of room....ill just try and organise them a little betterer this time:D

[Sprinter]

Can you put me down as an inner too please? Plus a non member call him SBKSteve. Wont be able to pay until a bit closer sorry but Im good for it:ayyy:

Probably B2 for both of us

[Zee]

Fuk I'm soooooo tempted to to blow a sickie.
Problem is.....no sickies :(
Fuken night shift :mad:

[Mr Big]

Put me down as an inner if there is any room left in C group! (slowest group or i will be a moving road block:mad: ):ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

youll be right mr big. should be plenty of room left:D

[dungbeetle]

[Mr Big]

[Zippa]

Payment made :mod_smilie_rockwoot

[dungbeetle]

ok ive updated the first page:D

[dallas]

some numbers there for sure... looks like another full house again...

i reckon with these numbers and some more IRA riders who are alittle 'track shy', we could surely book out a full private day at Wakefield....

with the numbers, i'd dare say it'll work out pretty cheap!.

D

D

[trumpst]

Sent money today for johnb and myself. See you all there:ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

got it jeff

and dallas, ya right about booking wakefield, but the problem is booking it...
this year is all booked out. we have a booking for nov 1st next year...may be able to get one early in the year to but they cant guarentee anything til the race program is sorted!!:(

[Zippa]

[dungbeetle]

not a bad idea zippa....we got prolly 50 between good friday and april 29th at oran park....dunno if that would be enuf, but ill look into it...

[swabio]

oooh I am looking much more likely to be at this one now.... will know in the next couple of days..... :)

[swabio]

Right I am definitely up for this! I will find a way to get the bike up there regardless.... so Put Me back in the Ring :D

[Peregrine]

Is it too late to add my name? Hopefully I might be able to try my very first trackbike!

[Poyda]

Depending on how sizable the bonus is and other pending commitments i may sneak in for this

[_chado77]

better add me to the list.. i'll transfer $$ tomorrow:ayyy:

[BART]

Hey Swabio,

I was checking out some of your videos on YouTube. Great vids.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcFfWKLVpaY

Stupid question....... what does the digital rev counter do on your bike. Is it also a lap timer.

What brand is this?

Hope to catch up with you at OP on the 29/04.

Cheers

Bart

[swabio]

Well money EFt'ed away today...

Hey Bart... re the dig rev counter... it is the Veypor2 www.veypor.com it has a manual and distance calculated lap timer in it, but also has an added option of having an IR one installed also. It is also a speedo and gear pos indicator, i just had not bothered calibrating it for that day..... cya on the 29th :)

cheers,

swabio

[_chado77]

$$$ transfered

cant wait .. cheers:ayyy:

[kellz]

[striker]

Sorry for stalling for a while. I had to wait until pay day to sort it out.

[dungbeetle]

[VINNIE]

As always be early for the moistest breaky around

[triumph]

[Dr Nick]

[triumph]

hey dungy we all know how cheap you a

[Dezerteagle]

Anymore room for this?

I've never done Oran Park....!

[dungbeetle]

pmed ya

[Fezz]

I'd like to come along with John (Dezerteagle) if there is anymore room?

I know at EC they have the slow group how does this work at Oran Park, I don't want to get in the way if everyone is going flat out. I mean I can ride but I'm only on a DRZ400SM so 150km/h top speed is frustrating.


Matt

[dungbeetle]

yous are in.....pmed john with the details....need ya cash asap!!!


no more....the day is full!!!!

[Dezerteagle]

Cheers for that dungbeetle!

Just scrapped in aye *phew*

[Fezz]

All sorted, only just made it in luckily.

[chunks]

G'day, i have just joined, would love to do the track day on the 29th, can you please advise o how i go about it, account details ect?
cheers chunks

[dungbeetle]

hey chunks and welcome to the site. i hate to turn ya down but the track day is full to overflowing. i just sqeezed the last 2 guys in and james wont take any more. we will be doing another in june and then another in august. theres also may 26th coming up at eastern creek and another at eastern creek in june also...

[Sprinter]

Sorry if this is already covered but 15 pages is too long for me:( Do we know what garages we are getting? Otherwise will there be an easy way to spot you? (Opened myself up there I guess..)

[triumph]

should be a sign outside one of the garages n.s.w road and trackbikes

[Dezerteagle]

Yep, should invest in a vinyl banner!

[MATTK6]

there is one dezerteagle, that's what triumph meant by a sign, it's pretty big and hard to miss:ayyy:

[Dezerteagle]

Ohhhh I thought he was saying 'should be' as in should get one.

never mind me.... will keep an eye out for it!

[triumph]

yeh its a big blue one .

[trumpst]

Looking forward to seeing you all there again- 2 days- :ayyy:

[kellz]

prob same garages as last track day..
so 21-24 i think.....

cant miss us we will be\hanging around vinnie, cause he cooking us bacon and eggs.

[Sprinter]

OK Thanks:ayyy:

What time do you start getting there?

[dungbeetle]

usually around 8am. get there a little earlier if ya want a bacon and egg sanga for 2 bux!!:D

[fullhouse]

ill be there

[juiced-r1]

If anyone needs to pull out, PLEASE PM me. I am keen to go to this!

[striker]

Now there is a coincidence. It look like I need to pull out because I don't know if I will have my bike back from the mechanic in time.

I'll P.M. you, but can't give you a definite until tomorrow.

Al if I want to transfer this to someone else, do we do it through you, or just call circuit breakers and sort it out myself?

[Turtle]

I'm not doin' the track day on Sunday but if i get a chance i'll come ot and meet all the RATS who will be there, where will you's all be ???? .......:mod_smilie_rockwoot

[Dezerteagle]

You will see the banner.

[swabio]

Mate,

What is going on.... get it sorted ya big poof!

[striker]

Don't worry. I'll be hassling em.

[kellz]

pm dungy he will sort it out...

[dungbeetle]

hey striker...it wont be a prob if ya pull out as long as juiced r1 wants the spot. we can sort it out on the day. he can just be there under your name.
best to pm juiced and make sure he wants the spot when you know if ya can make it or not. and just post up here so i know whats goin on. ill get it sorted on the day.

[juiced-r1]

Dungy, he's letting me know for sure today. PMs already sent. :)

[striker]

I'm out. Juiced is in. Hope you all have a good day. Dungy PM'ing you now with the plan re. money etc.

[juiced-r1]

Shit. I just realised you said B1, not B2. Any chance I can change groups when I get there? Or should I just go from the back and follow the guys around?

[kellz]

pretty sure you can change groups on the day... some of the guys in c are moving down to d i think...

dont stress dungy will sort it :D

[juiced-r1]

Thanks!

[striker]

There are always people keen to do a bit of shuffling on the day. And there isn't a huge difference between B1 and B2 so you should be right even if you get stuck.

Enjoy my day Juiced.

I'm going to go swear at something now!

[juiced-r1]

Thanks man.

Anyone know where I can find a corner by corner guide to lapping OP, similar to the old Josh Brooks one of EC?

[Dezerteagle]

Luke, be sure to check out Swabio's vids on YouTube.

[juiced-r1]

Will do now. :ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

hey juiced, just turn up around 8 or a little before. ill sort the rest out for ya...ive emailed james just to let him know whats goin on, and you can choose a group on the day so dont worry top much about that...
seeya sunday:D

[Bigdog]

Woo Hoo!!, the weather is supposed to be 22 degree's with a little cloud.
Just remember to take it easy on the early sessions peeps as the grip is a little down at OP that time of day.
The garages are a little smaller than at EC so I suggest we line our bikes up at 45 degree angles or there abouts. You'll have more room and it will be much less cluttered that way.

[dungbeetle]

yeh that sounds like the go...ill try to keep everyone organised. hopefully have 6 garages:D

[swabio]

[Dezerteagle]

Awesome day, the weather was definetely on our side!!

First time out there, it's a very nice and flowing track once you have found your rythym...

Good to see ALOT of RATS out there!

I supported by buying Bacon and Eggs and a Snag Sandwich hahaha

BTW - I'm on an '3 Flame Edition R6.

See you guys out there next track day!

[fullhouse]

i was lookin at your bike, looks good mate

[Dezerteagle]

Cheers mate!

[Fezz]

Awesome day out, thanks guys.

I was on the slow arse DRZ400 motard. :eyecrazy:

[fullhouse]

blk one right

[NdJ]

What a day and what a huge turnout by RATS! Huge thanks go out to those that prepared, arranged, cooked and cleaned the BBQ breakfast and lunch (Kat00, his boss, their young ones and the others) -- really makes the day enjoyable.

Cheers,
N

[juiced-r1]

Great turnout guys and gals! Thanks to everybody who lent their wisdom and tools (Al!) :) Good to have a chat with the Southern folk, too!

To be honest, I hated the track at first. But as I got used to my new suspension settings - THE OLD GAL TURNS IN NOW! - I really started having a blast. Can't wait til the 25th, now, and I'm almost a certainty to back up on the saturday (if the little lady will allow it).

Sorry to love and leave, but I had a 1 1/4 hour ride home to beat the rain. Tell you what though, I was grinning all the way. ;)

[zRoYz]

Well got home the wife didn't yell at me & my old bones hurt so I had a great day, was a little slow in the morning with all the drama when some bike droped it's lunch, but the arvo was perfect.

Meet some more people who's names I can never remember (reason my name is RoY is because I can only remember 3 letters) & hope Z1000 man shoulder is ok. The bbq is again the icing on the cake mainly because my fav food so my special thanks always goes to the cooks because there my special friends :mod_smilie_rockwoot

My idiot award for the day goes to Irena who was going to be my pit biatch, well she turned up at 4.30pm when bike was already loaded to go home, but your not allowed to make fun of SPECIAL people because it's not POLITICALLY correct (note for Irena, special in AUS slang means your slow/retarded/not firing on all cyl). :lmao: :lmao:

[Fezz]

blk one right

Yep, black one.

[fullhouse]

Some tips because I know :ayyy:
During work any money you would spend on lunch don't put it away.
When you go for a beer instead of say 5 only have 3 & put the rest away.
Lose change collect it before anyone else.
Pull the batt lead off the car, so when wife goes to drive it wont start, then after having a look tell her it needs repairs (how much you fake is your buzz).

You wouldn't believe how fast you save enough for a track bike, then when you buy it no funds are removed from bank wife knows about so a mate gave it to you & get a friend to say they did. Bingo no stress track bike & once you have it you will find it very hard for the wife to say you can't use it if it cost nothing wink wink.

Just remember I didn't say any of that :lmao:

[dungbeetle]

you need to be there by 8am irena!!!

had an awesome day everyone, even tho i didnt get much track time...
hope the guys that fell off are ok. ill let them tell their own stories.

[Dr Nick]

Pretty good day for me. Got a lot more track time than on the 6th. Hey Dezerteagel, you're John i know from uni right? I didnt see too many other flame R6's there so guessing it is you. Also met Luke(juiced-r1 i think?), glad you ended up enjoying the track more than you were in the morning. I seem to be cursed at this track, both times experiencing some kind of exhaust failure. More spectacular this time though, loosing the whole muffler! This time can only blame myself though for not checking the bolts where i hangs off the footpeg. Just very glad no one hit the bloody thing. Great to see you all again, catch ya out there next time.

You did get there, so you get some points for that :ayyy:

[Madmax01]

Yeah mate, that's me!

Hope to see you out there next time, hopefully the damage is only minor.

Very shocked when you came up to me "Did you go past a muffler by any chance?"

:omfg:

[VINNIE]

Again another top day at OP.Unfortunately a few offs slowed the day and it is even worse when it is one of the members.
Zippa unbelievably rebuilt his bike in the pits after a big high side and was back out on the track in no time:eyecrazy: .
Swabio it was good to see you didn't injure yourself mate that was a big hit you took there.I hope your bike recovery is speedy:ayyy: .
Bart what can i say,i had a tear running down my eye to see that beautiful Z1000 with some battle scares on her.I have spoken with Bart and he was about to go into X-Ray and from what the quack said sounds like he has a broken collar bone :(
It was good to see all the RATs out today riding and those of you that came out for the visit :ayyy: :ayyy:



Thanks to:
MattK6 :clap: for lending me your trailer and looking after Barts bike ( a bottle of JD will be coming your way)
David :clap: for cooking Breakfast ( you did a better job than me)
Fingers :clap: for cooking a mean lunch and for helping me with the loading of the bikes ( i,m sorry i stepped on your toe )

[BART]

Guys,

Just a short note to let everyone know I am ok. I have broken the left collar bone in half and will need to see an orthepedic surgeon later this week. Kell, I was really hoping that it was only bruised.

A big thank you for the kind assistance that everyone offered, especially Vinnie (you are a champion), who arranged to get my bike to Mattk6's. Many thanks to Truimph & Kaz for staying with me at the medical centre.

Basically the crash was due to me losing the back end on the right turn before the bridge. In the previous sessions the rear was skipping out (but controlled) but not this time. I backed off the throttle and it tried to throw me over the bars.

I was more worried about my exhaust when I crashed........go figure.

Tht bike picked up damage on the left hand side with a nice dent in the tank....ouch!

Cheers

[MATTK6]

more then happy to help:ayyy:

[triumph]

:ayyy: no worries bart just long as you a ok that the main thing

Christ Nick, your not having much luck are you??? Who did the welding???

[jasonbw]

Sorry to hear that Bart, when I read earlier about a Z'd going down I hoped it wasnt you, Doh... take it easy buddy :(

[Bigdog]

Well it was a day of mixed fortunes today. The first couple of sessions were pretty sketchy with mud, water and oil on the track in various spots. I gave A grade a go today and by the third session was really enjoying myself and managed to pull off a PB of 1:24.8.
As always it was a tops day riding with new and old Rats alike. Great bunch of people and everyone seemed to be having a blast throughout the day.
Unfortunately we had a few crashes today but I think the worst injury was a broken collarbone by Bart. The bikes looked a little worse for wear but the riders were mostly ok and generally in good spirits.
Thanks heaps for all the behind the scenes work by the BBQ staff and a huge thank you to Al (Dungbeetle) for the organising and running of the day. Good job mate and I'll see some of you at the next event at EC race school on the 10th May.

[swabio]

hi there ppl i had a ball today... well apart from ploughing into the fence.... see the pix in the pix section ;)

[Sprinter]

Thanks to everyone who organised the day. Wasnt my best ever and I was struggling a little with my bike so kept myself to myself a bit:( Hope to get to meet a few more of you next time.

[JohnB]

Awesome day out again guys. thanks for everything. I was on the little fzr with the smiley face on the front. Followed perigrin? on a yellow bike for a while. Man, the lean angles and corner speed you carried was awesome! See yas all soon.

[Peregrine]

Yeah, it was my first go on a track bike with slicks and it was awesome. Glad I spent the $$$ to get one :) Highly recommended...

Anyone coming out to Wakefield this Sat 5 May?

[Dezerteagle]

Anyone coming out to Wakefield this Sat 5 May?
I'm thinking of going with my mate Fezz on the DRZ400.

How much is it?

Maybe you should start a new thread?

[triumph]

peregrine nice looking bike you had there yesterday even if it was a honda

[Peregrine]

Thanks Triumph

Circuitbreakers is running it. It's $140 , then it's $50 for the club membership to ride on the track.

[Jordan]

had an awesome day guys, first trackday with my new rats laptimer... pretty schmicko i tell ya. (when you remember to turn it on) the first three sessions i didn't remember till bout two laps to go.

was my second trackday at OP and the timer says i was running 1.29 flat for the six laps i had the thing turned on in the first three sessions. Then in the fourth ran a 1.26.20 with a string of 1.27's to back it up.

My tyres are a mixed pair, got a bt002 on the front that i have done 6 track days on and about 2000 hard road klicks and a rear pilot power with 5 track days and bout 800 hard road kays on. Think its time to swap them out but they are still looking good.

Gotta love the smooth GSXR powa!

once again the rats throw a great trackday/

[Jordan]

and i gotta say i felt good and safe with my new dainese leathers and back protector. Nice to finally retire my well worn (and well tested) agv's

[dungbeetle]

they some good times there jordan. well done!!

[Zippa]

Just saying thanks to the organisers. Another top day :ayyy: :ayyy:

Started out a bit ordinary with a little opps at turn 5 , must have looked ok though as the guy who was behind me gave me a big thumbs up the next lap around.

After eplacing the front brake lever, some quick repairs to the fairing (gotta love race tape) & finally some fresh rubber it was back out to have some fun. Think I have convinced Chad to step up to A grade next time so lets hope he doesnt have the flu & we can all get a nice group happening there.

Thanks guys & gals. :mod_smilie_rockwoot

[Dr Nick]

Christ Nick, your not having much luck are you??? Who did the welding???

JasonBW

Nah it wasnt the Yoshi. I still havent got that fixed. I just had the standard system on. I checked all other major bolts except the bloody ones holding the muffler on the night before. So cant blame anyone but me. Just real glad that no one hit it. BIG thanks to Zee who saw it happen and jumped onto the track to pick it up, top stuff. Managed to run the muffler over too, crumpled the inlet bit up, scratched and dinted, and tore big gashes in the rear tyre. So i wont be riding again for a bit. Going to go over the whole bike before i do anyway and make sure everything is done up real good. I've been lucky so far, dont want any more mishaps.

As for that right hander coming onto the bridge, i had a few slides there myself. First one i near high sided as i shit myself and took the throttle off. Definatly not a wise move. Got lucky though and kept going. I was coming round the corner just after that z1000 came down. Hope you heal up soon mate. Cheers all.

[dallas]

yup, thanks to the organisers... top day, and top fun!.

managed to slip out a 1:28, so pretty happy about that.

Great track, great weather, great people........great fun!..

[trumpst]

Thanks again for the organising dungie- hope to book in for another real soon. I think my other son (simon) is keen for the EC day on 26th- will chase him up to book in.

[dungbeetle]

im gonna organise a group for queens bday long weekend. just waiting on confirmation of price...

[BART]

Guys,

Just to let everyone know that I had the op on Monday and everything went well.

My left collarbone now has a plate and 7 screws in it for the next 6 months but I now have movement with the shoulder and will be back at work next week.

It will be about 3-4 months before I am back on the bike so this gives me plenty of time to fix it.

Again....... thanks to all that helped out on the day, It was greatly appreciated.

Got the bike home on Friday from MattK6's and considering everything the damage isn't that bad.

Will be looking for some direction on fixing the bike shortly as I have no idea where to start.

Cheers

Bart

[Dezerteagle]

Glad to hear you're on the road to recover mate.

Can I ask, with Collarbones, how is broken usually? Landing on your shoulder?

[Zippa]

A couple of ways though sharp impact to the point of your shoulder does it mostly. Also if you are falling & put your arm out & land awkwardly....... been there done that one, bugger.:hatter:

[Poyda]

I dunno, all i remember is changing into second, then looking around to see my bike a few feet from me, ran over, grabbed the bar that was on the bround side and went to lift, but my right arm just sorta stretched a bit further.........Then i had to sit down for a while :hatter:

[Zee]

Good to hear surgery went well for ya Bart :ayyy:
As soon as the pain shits over, you'll be back on the bike again :ninja:

[Sprinter]

My favourite part was when the Doctor told me the collar bone "isnt a very important bone" So I shouldnt worry too much that it now looks like a dogs breakfast:(

[kellz]

Glad to hear you're on the road to recover mate.

Can I ask, with Collarbones, how is broken usually? Landing on your shoulder?

any impact on the arear or anything which compresses the bone in any way shape or form...
the coloor bone is quite thin compared to the major arm and leg bones so breaks easily but is also repaired easily...
