I was the biker who lost control of the bike on leaves in road, or diesel, at Gillinggate at Kendal.

I wanted to say a big thank you to all those people who came to my aid. The woman in the car behind taking her kids to school had a little more than she bargained for and, if I might say, a radiant smile.

I would also like to thank the young motorbiker in blue who took care of my bike, the guy in yellow who made the call to the ambulance and, of course, Jeff and Neil, the ambulance crew, who took me to hospital. I really can't thank you all enough!
