The Weekend was beautiful as you all must know, and after spending the majority of Saturday playing with gearing, and really starting to enjoy himself, Roger was feeling good for Sundays events.
Unfortunately, He was a little too enthusiastic, and whilst outbraking a Norton Twin to pass on the outside, a last minute line change of the Norton rider saw them clipping each others bars and my Father came off on the Grass.
It wasn’t the Nortons fault, as he was being overtaken, but it was an unfortunate assumption for my father to make that the man was a decisive rider, even if he didnt have an orange jacket.. the tell tale caution sign of a racing novice.
A Costly assumption!
My father broke his Collar Bone and his shoulder blade on his right side, but was released from Margate A and E, yesterday afternoon, and is at home now.
The Scott suffered a couple of dents to the Tank and some damage to the right hand footrest hanger and gearshift lever but nothing that a day cant fix.
A big thank you to all who who came to support him over the weekend, including Colin Heath and Jeane, Martin Brockwell and his son, Colin Morris (who marshalled) and many others .
He is annoyed as much as anything that this happened, but it is part of Racing, and I am sure that he will be up and running soon.
Best Wishes
