Hi everybody,
I’m Jamie’s work mate and friend as well, as we both are riders.
He’s story is very emotional from my point of view. I’m agency worker. My agency is sending me to many different places, and Jamie’s one is among my favourites, especially because I could find there someone special, with whom I can talk a lot about bikes, and never get bored. And he never hesitates to tell me what’s wrong with my english ha,ha,ha – I like this way of making it better.
It took 2 weeks before I heard about his accident, as I was busy somewhere else, while his company wanted me to start carry Jamie’s duty. Usually I’m only happy to get job for long period, but this time it is a lot bitter to cover injured friend.
Considering above MANY THANKS DODGE AND OTHERS FROM ME AS WELL. It would be my nightmare if he wouldn’t survive.
Jamie wanted to buy my polish racer from 50s, as he is lover of classic lugs. I helped him to find nicer one on e-bay, and it’s paint and lugs were really impressive. I’ll post the picture, if I’ll only find.
He visited us at work yesterday. He was on errr…little hay, as forced to be constantly on painkillers. But I tell you what – this bloke did not lose sense of humor: he wore t-shirt with personally drawn skull and sarcastic motto “live fast, ride faster” ha ha ha.
I feel better seeing him walking. Tommorow Jamie will get important checking to his shoulder, which is most uncertain of his condition yet. There is something minced around his muscle. I asked him how the hell position he could find to sleep, while deeply stitched all around. Jamie showed me only position he could find – freaky one, but at least it’s on the right side of the body, not heart pressing one. But he can fall asleep, when really tired only.
As final word I’d like to ask you folks to wish him good shower, hahaha, as soon as possible, since his corpse is mummy-wrapped yet, and it’s itchy so much, that he don’t know what’s worse: pain, or that.
