Knackered… but you’ve got to laugh

-

Towards the end of the year, between covid mutations, I set out for a run towards the East Coast. On the return leg, with a low setting sun in the west, I missed a road imperfecti­on. I’m still not sure what that imperfecti­on was, but travelling in the mid 50s 245kg of motorcycle slammed into an area a gentleman prefers to keep safe from harm.

Two weeks later, mired in the new covid outbreak, I am sent by my GP to have the area scanned in Addenbrook­s hospital.

Despite the strain on hospital services the process is faultless and my tension disappears completely when looking at the scan I ask the specialist if the damage I am looking at on the screen was caused by the ‘impact’.

‘No idea,’ he replied. ‘But what do you think of the Royal Enfield Intercepto­r? Its been getting great reviews’.
