Speaker 2 (00:03):
I was fortunate enough to be invited to go on MG.
Mark Geyer has a podcast called MG's Life in five
And you go on there and you take five photographs
in that mean a lot to.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You in your life.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
How many did I take up?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, you were in there, of course you're in there.
You know you're my best one through all in the world.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And there was pictures of me and my family, and
there's a nice picture of Helen holding our grandson.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh Switch.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And there was another picture and I've sort of not
that I've moved on from it, but I had a
motorcycle accident, a pretty big one in twenty fourteen. I've
had a lot of motorcycle accidents, but this one was
a life changing one. And there was a moment when
I was lying on the ground when I had this accident,
I actually thought, I think this might be it, as
far as I don't think I'm going to be riding
(00:53):
a motorbike again. And I got a lot of feedback
from people. People just reached out and they said, oh
my god, I just didn't realize what a big accident
it was. And it was just so nice to be
able to talk to MG about this. So this out
went down in the podcast. I was on the Triumph
Rocket three there, and that was twenty minutes into the
ride and I'm looking like a bad ass in the
(01:13):
first of you are and the next minute I've had
this massive accident. And so I'm lying between those metal poles. Yes,
so I went through those metal poles. That's how I
ended up. So I missed the metal poles and I'm
lying on the ground and that guy that's been over me,
he was a paramedic called Joe and he was on
his way to Armadale and he was one.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That taught me through it because he said, can you
feel your legs? And I said, no, I can't. I
can't fill my legs.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And at that weekend, I think, just the weekend before
Alex McKinnon.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Had how his life had changed with the tackle.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And I'm lying in a friggin' ants and anst as well.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I didn't know the answer of the leg but nowhere else.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But it was so cathartic to talk to MG about
that about that.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But it was a major accident. I obviously I was
working with you through this, and you know your shoulder
was your back was broken, your shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Shoulder and back and it was one of those accidents
where I remember Doc Neeson, he was still alive and
he rang me Jones. You know it was it was
such a big deal. But I you know, I think
with motorcycles, a lot of people all always say and
I ride a motorcycle every day, and they say, you know,
you're sure they're going to give up bikes.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I can't give up bikes. I just I just can't.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And that you're part of a TV show that you
called temporary Australians.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Well, yeah, because Australians by and large in Australia, we're
better with it now, but Australians wear pretty much discriminatory
towards motorcycles.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We don't like them, we don't get them.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Doctors don't like them, doctor surgeons hate people tell me,
people tell me how dangerous they are, of their concern
for you.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But I got doctor maates that call them donorcycles, and
I take that or because the thing is with a motorcycle,
le jeopardy is real.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's every day, and there is a persecution content.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'll notice with some riders. I'll say, oh yeah, the
car didn't see mere you know, they never see it.
Every day you get cut off.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But what's interesting every accident you have, and you've had ten.
That was your last big one, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It was actually thirteen accidents.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
But you say I learned to be a bitter. I
pay more attention. Then there's another way, say no, this
being stupid. I pay more attention. So I don't relax either.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, I could never give the marp.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, But does Helen never ask you to give up?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Because I came with the motorbike when we were together.
I was there and there was a point when I
sold the motorbike. And this is what happens when you
get a woman in your relationship. The guy will sell
the bike while we have kids and do all that
sort of stuff, but then they never get the bike
back again.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And I pushed through that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I was bikeless for about a year when we had
our oldest Morgan, and then I said I'm getting another motorbike.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And I said, I thought, you're over that phase. It's
not a phase, mum.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's not a phase. At least the mullet was a phase, and.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The double denim.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But I'll just say this, if you're riding a motorbike.
If you're about to start riding a motorbike and I
know that young passed away on his Honda, and that's
just a tragic thing. The jeopardy is real on a
motorcycle and it's no one's fault but yours. You're the
one that's responsible for the whole thing. Be instinctive, don't
be impulsive.
