What really happened in France.  I did have a crash that was initially caused by a stroke caused by Low blood pressure and during the crash I suffered a broken neck, which they fixed in France.  I got back to the UK on Friday 28th October but have suffered increaing problems from the broken shoulder blade, for which I have recieved no physio for since the crash.  I have had no treatment for the stroke at all apart from asprin to prevnent a repeat.  Carol Nash got the bike back very promptly and eventually got me back but I am left with 20% of the hospital costs to pay at some stage. So no matter how good your recovery insurance is it is worth having private medical cover for any trip abroad.

Hope to see you soon and may need he coach to pick me up in Macc on the way to the NEC as I may be banned from driving for a few months when the DVLA finds out about the stroke
