John, we’ve not met but I’m really sorry to hear of your injuries. Doesn’t seem like yesterday I was at the Andrew Harper rideout from RAF Benson, this reminds me of that.
I hope you make a speedy recovery and stay safe. Thank you for your service.
Have fun doing your DAS!! Passing mine 25 years ago is one of my happiest memories.

I remember Andrew Harper like yesterday. He lost his life to idiots trying to protect the public and up hold the law as sworn by our oath. He was taken to early and i will never forgot the day during my training when we all stood in remembrance of him and lowered the flags to half mast in his honour.
I am tender, but i will be fine and i will mend!!! 
I know it could have gone a lot worse, but i like to fall back on the fact that had i not tried what i did then a member of public would have been seriously hurt. Instead my actions caused the apprehension of a drug driver, and left only myself feeling sore.
Been put forward for a commendation for my actions, however, i do not believe that it is desrved as i was just doing my duty and what comes natural to me.
Once i am feeling better i hope to arrange a ride and meet up with some of you guys.

try and do a weekend day easier for me 
Wow, this must be the most dramatic pre-rideout we had to date!
Kudos to you mate, I’m down in Surrey these days so if you venture down Box Hill give me a shout.

I can relate to what you are going through.
I was a full time job motorcyclist and a scrote in a stolen vehicle deliberately took me out and my injuries left me disabled and put me into early retirement.
On the plus side I was close to retirement anyway, but I know what you are going through. The pain and immobility I suffer every day reminds me of that fateful day (Not far from where Andrew Harper met his end, we were in the same force and same department, just a generation apart)
Stay positive and don’t let the federation solicitors screw you over like they did me. If its still RJW, you have my sympathy and I would recommend going independent.
It was because of RJW that I went into personal injury law to avoid fellow riders being screwed over like I was.
Speedy recovery fella
