I had a fabric hoarse, I loved and I used it loads. Until last week when I had a crash.
I was turning left at some speed, however when I had got about half way round the corner I realized that there was a white van on the wrong side of the road trying to overtake another car.
This left me with no option but to corner harder to the left or go straight into the van.
Physics would not allow this though and I came off. I landed on my lock onto my hip and kidney. This was the most painful thing ever. More painful than when I broke my nose.
My hip had the usual bruising etc.. which has almost gone now but my kidney is still about twice its normal size and still fu**ing painful.
According to the doctor guy I saw the kidney is one of the most delicate parts of the body and I am a retard for keeping my lock there.
