Something happeed and it split and dropped on to my left foot, up near my leg. I wondered if I had lost a foot for a moment. Luckily I wear elastic sided boots so the leather was up high, but within an hour or so I was in trouble. I could not put any weight on it and decided to go home at 8.30 pm. I hopped to my car 300M away, manged to drive somehow and crawled inside home. Now, are two things I have discovered from racing motorcycles; - Brake as late as you can - Keep a bag of frozen peas at hand. I climbed into bed with a pillow under my foot and had the frozen pease, big bag, strapped to the foot. 2 hrs later I removed it. In the morning there was no sign of bruising, my foot could be stood on and whilst it would stop me from kick starting a bike I could walk again.
