- Embark on an exhilarating journey through the stunning landscapes of Norway with me as I navigate the winding roads on my motorcycle, encountering breathtaking fjords and picturesque vistas along the way. This adrenaline-fueled adventure took an unexpected turn when a wrong move led to a heart-stopping accident, leaving me with broken ribs and a story to share. #MotorcycleAdventure #Norway #BrokeMyRibs

A lot of respect for making that long difficult road trip. The random bad luck, doesn't diminish the accomplishment.
❤ Thank you so much!
100% agreed here. Great achievement!
Got to love the Scandinavians. I drove a hire car into a snow covered ditch in Sweden during the world rally championships. Minutes later a van pulled up and 12 or so giant Norwegians jumped out of the rear and hauled the car back onto the road. Great people, great memories.
Best cheese in the world as well ahahahaha
@@SaffySprocketdont laugh, please dont laugh!
Could possibly have been rally fans who are used to rescuing rally car?. The motor sport scene there looks big! Lots of old Volvos in rallies makes it easy to enter.
@@stefanmargraf7878 owwwwww!
Only the brown stuff! @@SaffySprocket
Almost 5,000km before you had to head home, that's an epic journey in anyone's books - you're a star Saffy! Hope the ribs are feeling better ❤
It was such a rubbish end 😭
No it wasn't a rubbish end. You made it. You're amazing!
I actually felt guilty pressing the like button for this video 😢
Hope there are no complications with your recovery x
ahahah Think of the like button as a support button!
Daffy, I have been following your adventures for a while. I have been riding m bikes for 55years and haven’t done half the things you have done, not sure if that is wisdom or opportunity! Stay with it girl, you are a champ!
Wow, 55 years of riding experience is truly impressive! 🏍️ It sounds like you've had quite the journey yourself, and whether it's wisdom or opportunity that's led us down different paths, I believe every ride teaches us something valuable. 💖 Your words of encouragement mean the world to me, and I'm grateful to have your support! 🌟
Get well soon Saffy! The world needs you!
Thank you so much :-) I'm all healed now! Just waiting for spring!
Get well soon saffy, had a virtually identical accident 2 years ago on my ktm. I landed on a rock and broke my ribs and this was with body armour on aswell 🙃 🙄😬, rest up and take it easy
Well done not giving up ,
Can you get the bike on carrier to bring it home to you
🏴
Saffy, this is one of the most impressively honest, vulnerable and moving videos I've seen a motorcycle youtuber make. Not cutting out any of the emotional bits made it very very relateable. That is not a fail in my book.
Even as a traveler you didn't fail, you had an accident. Winds nearly blew me of the road in Norway aswell. You will heal, you'll conquer more challenges.
Lastly I just wanted to say thanks. Had my own gust of wind blow a relationship out of my hands a couple weeks back. Was too painful to cry, i felt like a failure. Somehow you helped, it is such a relief
You’re a hero for actually getting there. Hope you get your bike back OK .
I'll work on a plan ❤️
I've read through comments. The fact that you pushed through is inspiring. Hey, you made it safely home in the end, it is a win!
I admire your writing especially describing the crisis situation. This are some deep thoughts. I think you should pursue this style as it differentiates you.
Thank you for keeping it real!
Btw - if you didn't start patreon yet - you should. I think some folks here would sponsor your trip back to the Nordkap and to get your bike back home.
You're a tough cookie - be proud!
Thanks a million for believing in me and for being part of this adventure! 🚀🙏
I'm really sorry that you went through all of that.
If you go back to ride your bike back home try to do so more during the season when the weather is better (I'm sure that the bike gang that you helped you can tell you the best time to go), then try to follow the coast more while in northern Norway, the main road doesn't show you just how amazing northern Norway actually is.
People rush to the North Cape missing out on areas of Norway every bit as beautiful as the west coast because they're rushing along the main road.
And I don't want you to loose out on what northern Norway has to offer.
Also, yes, I think a lot of us want to support you.
Although unfortunately I can't afford to help much myself... :-/
That was emotional Saffy , thanks for not leaving us too worried. Get better soon 💜🙏👍
Thank you so much :-) I'm all healed now! Just waiting for spring!
Thank you for sharing such a truthful and raw story. Making things real is what riding a bike is all about.
Couldn't agree more!
absolute champion of a human being. Absolute. Champion.
Thank you so much!
Your courage and stamina is simply astounding, not for the first time, I was moved to tears watching your journey unfold. I hope you make a full recovery very soon and I hope you get your bike back soon too. Take care Saffy
🌟 I'm working hard on my recovery, and I'm hopeful that I'll be back on my feet - and my bike - in no time! 🏍️💨 Take care as well, and thanks again for being part of the journey! 🚀😊
In all my years of riding, I’ve never had a bike blow over and I’ve travelled in some pretty challenging conditions. Wow, wishing you a swift recovery. Those ribs do a lot of structural support, you don’t realise until you’ve broken them. Take it easy and mend.
Thanks for the well wishes; I'm taking it easy and on the mend.
Oh my god! I cried watching you in pain . You are a true warrior riding the bike to the end❤❤❤
It hurt so baaaaaaaaaaaaad ahahaha
As always Saffy your videos are always heartfelt and great, but you know we are all wishing you well, and hopefully now you are totally recovered and planning more epic journeys, obviously taking us all with you along the way. Hope you get your bike back soon saffy, as always ride safe and take care. 😊
Thank you so much!
So say we all
I see no failure here. You are a champion IMHO. You persevered.
It's was a very painful win 😅😅😅
Well done for toughing it out to the finish, not the end you would have wanted but a dramatic conclusion. Glad your OK now
Thanks a bunch! 💪 It was definitely a dramatic twist, but I'm grateful to have made it through. Your support means a lot, and I'm glad to report that I'm doing okay now. 🌟 Onwards and upwards, right?🚀😊
You've been through the mill, so sorry to see you alone and in pain. I hope you made a full recovery ❤️🏴🏴
I did! Got there in the end!
@@SaffySprocket that’s good
As rough and challenging as it all seemed while watching I could not help think that you made it. Perhaps not in the manner you expected, or even as you hoped you might cope, but you survived and I have to think you are a stronger person because of it. Best wishes for the adventure ahead.
When I said I hoped this trip would change me, breaking my ribs wasn't what I had in mind 🤣
Having suffered broken ribs myself, from the moment the wind blew you asunder if I were the camera person the sound would have been one continuous bleep to obliterate my cursing. My admiration of you and your immense strength knows no bounds you make an Amazon warrior look like a power puff girl😉
It's bad isn't it!!! Did you get the nasty cough water prescribed too?!
I was given some paracetamol and told to go away, and coughing, I recall, caused horendous pain also putting on a t shirt was no picnic! @@SaffySprocket
Your stuff is always very honest, and you are too hard on yourself. The series was good to watch, you raised the target, you are still in one piece. Plus it could be another adventure to get the bike back.
Thank you so much! I'm just an emotional girl overall ahahahaha!
There are those who have gone down and those who will (and there is a Venn diagram overlapping those two groups).
I had my BMW R1200RT fall over on me last year trying to get out of a heavily cratered gravel parking lot in rural Alabama. A man pulled over before I could get out from under the bike, checked on my well being, and then helped get that big heavy bike upright so I could shuffle off with what was left of my dignity.
These roadside heroes do restore my faith in humanity.
I’m so sorry for the pain and broken bones and tough recovery.
Thats the icing of the cake for adventure, your really brave, hope you get get well soon.
Oh Saffy, we all had load speed spills. Unlucky to break ribs. Glad loads of people helped you.....damaged ribs hurt like hell. Did a similar thing a few years back on my cross runner......ride safe! 7:21
Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm glad to hear you made it through your own spill okay! Broken ribs are definitely no joke, but I'm grateful for all the support and help I received. Ride safe yourself, and thanks for the well wishes!
Just when you thought Saffy`s adventures could not get anymore dramatic or painful , this happens , that was bad luck even for you Saffy , to get blown off course like that. I so much admire you for actually walking to the finish ! , you are made of such strong stuff , amazing . Hope you soon make a full recovery .
😊 Yeah, it seems like I have a knack for finding myself in some pretty wild situations! 🙈 But hey, walking to the finish line was the only option, right? 💪
Hey, Saffy, i am glad that you are Ok now. And i am happy that you reach the North Cape !!!
I am from Bulgaria and my journey to the North Cape was in 2018 / 10 000 km round/ and i remember absolutely clear this strong winds and gusts - the strongest i am ever experienced. When i was there 2 big BMW GS was flip over and lay on the ground, many bikers was hiding from the gusts in the low land near the road. Riding in this conditions is hard but unforgettable !
You are Hero !
Ride safe !
Oh wow, I can only imagine how tough that must have been for you! 😔 It's a reminder that we're not alone in facing these challenges on the road. Stay safe out there! 💖✨
You're an amazing woman for the things you do for others. On that note PLEASE stop saying your a failure because you are not, you got back up and tried again, oh nice tee shirt ❤❤.
Thank you so much!
You did it Saffy, in a dramatic way but you freakin' did it! You're such a tough cookie, tougher than what you think of yourself and that's the way, well done you Saffy!! 💖👍👍
Yeah, it might have been a bit of a dramatic journey, but hey, that's just how I roll, right? 🙈 I'm beyond grateful for your encouragement and for believing in me, even when I doubt myself. 🌟
Bless ya. I feel bad for you coming off, situation did not look good. You got back on the bike and carried on.Glad you are o.k.
couldn't let it end there - had to keep going! 😄 I'm doing okay, and I'm grateful for your kind words. Let's keep the adventures rolling! 🏍️🚀
You are a fighter. Hope you can go on new adventures soon.
Thank you so much :-) I'm all healed now! Just waiting for spring!
This just goes to show how you can go from enjoying life to sheer disaster in a matter of seconds, I broke 4 ribs and my ankle while touring in France, the broken ribs werte a nightmare, I was the same as you Saffy, I could hardly move, could hardly breath, and had to leave my beloved bike and all my equipment in France, 800 miles away from my home. I watched you struggleing to breath and all the memories came flooding back, I felt so sorry for you, you were alone were as I had friends with me. I'm glad to see you made a fast recovery, the trip was quite an achievement, you should be very proud.
That sounds like a tough experience, @BVGB921. It's amazing how quickly things can change on a trip. Glad to hear you're on the mend now.
It's amazing how an adventure can turn in a very bad direction in an instant.
I've broken ribs on several occasions. Weeks of stabbing agony with every breath. My sincerest empathy. I've never gone to the hospital because there is nothing they can do for broken ribs, unless a rib punctures a lung. Fortunately, I never did that. I've also never been denied airline travel because of broken ribs. That seems very odd.
By far the worst was a broken floating spare rib in my back. I nearly passed out from the pain. I could hear (inside) and feel the jagged ends of the broken ribs grinding meat. I heavily medicated at night to get three hours of very fitful sleep sitting up in the living room wing chair. It was just barely enough sleep to prevent hallucinations.
Brave and so much stronger than one may think!!!
Thanks 😊
Oh my word Saffy I'm so sorry. You did brilliantly just to get home, sending loads of love (but no huggs) !xxx
Thank you so much! It was so horrific getting home 😭 took longer than the trip itself
Wow, all I can say is that it's the mishaps and things going wrong that make the story, these are the things that you remember from an adventure.
Absolutely! It's the unexpected twists and turns that make the journey memorable. Despite the challenges, I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
Get well very soon. Hopefully You will soon be reunited with your Bike. You are one very brave Lady.
❤ Thank you so much!
Most people would have given up there. But not you Saffy. You're...strong! 🥇🍾🥂
Or just mad!
@@SaffySprocket It's good to always have a bit of madness in your back pocket. You certainly need a bit of madness to be that strong.
Glad you weren't seriously hurt, Saffy.
Someone was looking down on me that's for sure!
@@SaffySprocket I am glad that you are talking to me again now. Sorry if I offended you, being a bit personal, asking where are you from?, as I agreed with your comments, on personal security. Though I guessed it was from Manchester. If we had met though, I have to confess, if I haven't done before, I am a balding nearly 60 year old ex car driver.
Ohhh that's sooo hard to watch. I have tears in my eyes. I am sorry. I used to think it was personal, fate trying to f**k me up just when I am at my happiest but it looks like it is just plain bad luck and does happen to other people !!! You didn't fail at anything you were there. If anything you super suceeded by putting up with the pain. Broken ribs sh*t but do heal as an HGV driver taught me ! You're an inspiration 🤗
Oh wow, thank you so much for your heartfelt words! 😢 Yeah, it definitely wasn't the easiest thing to go through, but knowing that I've touched someone's heart means the world to me. 💖 It's funny how life throws us curveballs sometimes, isn't it? But hey, you're spot on, broken ribs may be a pain in the you-know-what, but they do heal with time! 💪 🤗❤️
So sorry that happened to you, Saffy. I hope you are all recovered by now. 🤞
Thank you! I'm doing much better now. 🙏
Brutal! Poor bike 😢... Only joking, that was a sore on, well done for soldiering on foot to your final destination and goal ❤
You are such an inspiration, never give up as you are doing amazing things, most of us can only dream with the trip you did but you made it. You should be very proud of yourself. I hope you are getting well and you can be in the road soon.
Thank you so much!!
Exactly true inspiration.
poor thing, get well soon, so glad they could help you and you were not alone in the middle of a dessert or something.
Thank you so much for your concern and well wishes, Neil! 😊
Saffy “O” Saffy, I bet you thought this was the end!! But you got back up on the Bike (in a tizzy, panic set in, embarrassment aside no time to put things back to order) your spirit shone through and you didn’t want to disappoint your followers. This is what makes it a good adventure, if you did not have the accident it would have been “ I Done it”and gone home, but this will be remembered forever. Unbelievable Great adventure story to tell, no one can beat that😂. If you want a lift to collect the bike, let me know.
🤣 I barely remember it to be honest, it was such a blur, I was so fueled up on adrenaline at the time
Bless you girl, your a star. Nice that those guys helped you , brilliant work.
😊 thank you, and yes they were a life-saver!
I hope you can get home safely.@@SaffySprocket
Hi Saffy, great to hear you are back home and safe. You acheived so much and should be proud of yourself. It's moments and events like this that make or break us, so when you reflect and manage to get your bike back, that is the time you will know what to do. I hope you get back in the saddle and film more great content.Good luck for the future.
You're absolutely right that moments like these can be pivotal, and I'm determined to learn from them and continue growing as a rider and content creator. 🏍️✨
Massive amounts of respect, not only for the adventure in itself, but for getting all the way, even without the bike and with broken ribs. You ever plan on going back to Norway, hmu, I've a huge list of places to go and stuff worth experiencing.
👏👏👏
What an incredibly brave and beautiful soul you have
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear such encouragement.
Goodness! The kindness of strangers to help you. Amazing. What an ordeal for sure. I hope you are on the mend and you have family and friends to help you. Please let us know how you are doing. Best!
I'm all healed now! Don't worry :-)
@@SaffySprocketSo good to hear. That was so dangerous! ❤
One minute you're on the road lookin' at the scenery...Next thing you know, you're in the scenery lookin' at the road 😅❤
aahhahah exactly!
I'm sad you never finished your trip, but glad you survived to tell the tale, that's what makes an adventure. If this happened in Scotland, the NHS would say " Your fine, and you can fly back home tomorrow with Ryanair " LOL. Many thanks, hope you're feeling better now, till next adventure.
Difference is, in the UK we have x-ray scanners at every one of our hospitals, where I was in Norway, there was no scanner so I had to travel from hospital to hospital to find a scanner to check I was safe to fly home
Basically, though, you didn't fail. You succeeded. I did a similar thing in Romania, cracking a rib (just one though!) coming off after slipping on gravel after avoiding a pothole. I had the best ride along the Danube afterwards but I was in agony. I love that you tried to go on. Be kind to yourself. Look at what you did, not what you didn't.
💖 It's reassuring to know that others have faced similar challenges and have still found the courage to carry on. 😊 Riding along the Danube sounds like an incredible experience despite the pain you were in. 🏍️💨
I’ve followed a lot of your previous trips, but I’ve been following this trip with special interest as I’m a Norwegian biker. Really wonderful story you’ve shared with us! Loved it. Sorry it ended the way it did, but tip my hat to the way you finished the last mile. You’re tougher than most of us 😎 Get well soon, and back on the road again. Looking forward to more adventures 🥰🇳🇴
While the ending may not have been what I hoped for, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share the adventure with all of you. 🏍️💨 Y
One word to describe you Saffy, "AMAZING!"
ahahaha or "UNLUCKY" ahaha
@@SaffySprocket hahahaha true.🤣
You are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Such a brave and genuine person.
Okay, I cried 😢😢watching this episode. Hugs 🤗❤
That was a very serious situation. I’m sorry it happened. Glad you’re almost out the other side.
It was indeed a serious situation, but I'm grateful for your support as I navigate through it. 🙏 It's been a journey, but I'm getting there step by step. Your kind words mean a lot to me. 💖
Thank goodness you got there , I hope you're feeling a bit better . If you can cope with all this then it certainly makes you stronger for the future . Take care , let us know how you get on , I was in Norway on my bike pulling a trailer a couple of years ago .
Thanks a bunch for your kind words! 💖 I'm slowly but surely getting there. Your support means a lot, and I agree, every challenge makes us stronger for what lies ahead. 🌟
You're a tough young talented lady. You'll be back on track soon, life's a learning curve but keep on doing what makes you happy. Love your videos, they make people smile.
Wow, just watched the episode I have been looking for. A great change from all the sunshine stories people post on social media. Nice to see something from when the nature is not so co-operative.
I'm glad to see that you are working your way back in the sadle.
Looks like it will be a flight to Norway this summer for you to pick up your trusted steed and drive him home in style.
Hope you are recovering well both physically and mentally from the accident.
All the best🙂
Well done for soldiering on in true British fashion! Very proud of you 😊👍
Thank you so much 😊
OMG Saffy !! I hope you get well soon and all the best for getting your bike back. I admire your stamina and determination !! You are so authentic !!! Hope to see you on the bike again soon
Thank you so much for your support ❤️ I'm all healed now 🙏
Sorry to hear you've had an "off" Saff, hope you heal soon. I doubt there's many riders out there that haven't had some sort of tumble, hopefully you'll put it down to experience, get back on the bike as soon as possible and carry on loving it!
yeah, it seems like spills are just part and parcel of the riding life, huh? 🙈 I'm definitely taking this as a learning experience and can't wait to get back in the saddle once I'm all healed up! 💪
OMG Saffy you still got ur self to the top and got a selfie you are a tough person . I am so glad to see those nice people helping you out good on them . If i was rich i would buy you a new bike the way you had it . SOOOOO proud of you !!!
I was very lucky they pulled me out of the ditch!!!!
“ just get up just get up !” I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye 😢
😅 it's a bit of a blur now
Breaking your ribs on a motorcycle when it's stationary is a new one on me but then again I've had some offs which have been just as ridiculous. I'm sure it was bloody painful. I've hurt ribs playing rugby and I remember being scared to cough or sneeze! Is the bike a bit too tall for you? Maybe something with a lower centre of gravity would be more stable in bad conditions, a Kawasaki Vulcan for example? Adventure is what you do on any motorbike, not just on an "Adventure Bike" which is just a daft name the media dreamt up.
Breaking ribs in such a bizarre way was definitely unexpected! And you're spot on about the pain-it's no joke. As for the bike's height, it's a factor to consider for sure. Lower centre of gravity could indeed offer more stability, so I'll keep that in mind. And you're absolutely right about adventure-it's about the spirit, not just the bike you ride. Thanks for the insight! 🏍️
So very painful sorry you had to go through it the best of luck with healing It takes time
You're absolutely right; healing does take time, but with support from wonderful people like you, I know I'll get there. 🙏
I salute your courage and tenacity. That musta really hurt and no doubt continues to do so.
Thanks a bunch, @thewoodster8607! 🌟 Your salute means a lot. Yeah, it's been a rough one, but I'm taking it one day at a time. 🙏 Appreciate your support!
Wow, that was emotional, i hope you mend quickly and get your bike home easily.
It was emotional editing too 😅
Saffy, you are both perpetually unlucky and TOUGH AF! I'm sorry that happened, but DAMN your reaction was strong! And I can only imagine the motorsports club's Discord blowing up: "SAFFY NEEDS US! THIS IS THE MOMENT WE WERE BORN FOR!" 😂 The help you got right from the start is so heartwarming.
Please get well, love. Im glad you're still having adventures. I've only ever bruised my ribs and I can't imagine that pain. Again, tough AF. Sisu.
😂 Yeah, I guess I've got a knack for attracting some wild adventures, but hey, it builds character, right? 💪 Aahahahah I was an absolute mess when the club came and got me, I was full on ugly crying freaking out - I can totally picture the chaos! 🏍️😅
@@SaffySprocket Oh, dear! Totally understandable given the circumstances, of course. One unrelated question -- can I, in the US, buy one of those Sprocketeer shirts? I don't see a merch link on your website these days. Thanks!
Simply amazing, hope your ribs feel better soon.
Thank you!
Omg girl! You are such a trooper. I think adrenalin got you that last bit to the globe monument. I hope you heal quickly
I'm just catching up now. What a shame to end like that. You are not a failure. You had a mishap on an amazing adventure. So glad you had help getting to hospital. Hope they kept the bike secure for you.
I know you're back on the road now. Well done! Many wouldn't have been. So you go girl!
Same thing happened to me and my 77 year old mother last year. Only vid on my channel thus far.... lol but thankfully just broke a pillion foot peg. Terrible thing to happen any time, but always heart-warming to see rando Jo - Public getting stuck in! All the best with the recovery Ms Sprocket! 👏
Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that you and your mom had a similar experience! 😔 It's never fun when things don't go as planned, but I'm glad to hear that it wasn't too serious for you both. 💖 And you're absolutely right, it's incredibly heartwarming when strangers come together to lend a hand in times of need. 🤝
Sorry to hear you got injured nine times out of ten its just bruises then you are unlucky, and broken ribs hurt like the devil, get well soon. I know those roads well I lived in Trondheim for 6 months, took the bile from Newcastle to Bergen then drove over the mountains to Trondheim, beautiful scenery and empty roads.
😊 Broken ribs are indeed no joke, and I'm grateful for your well wishes as I work on healing up. 💖 It sounds like you've had some amazing adventures on those Norwegian roads! 🏍️🏔️ The scenery truly is breathtaking, and the feeling of riding through those empty roads is like no other. 🌟
Well done to reaching NK after that 👍 goal achieved ☑️ - a very similar thing happened to me in 2018 - I broke my kneecap in Norway just south of the Atlantic Ocean road. Like you I rode on for a while, back to the campsite at Åndalsnes. Hospital the next day in Mølde by taxi who confirmed fracture. They were going to do the surgery on me then and there, but I explained I had my son as pillion with me. So they strapped me up, 6 hour taxi ride to Trondheim, connecting flight for us both to Oslo, then flight to Heathrow. Surgery the following week and the BMW came back in a van 2 weeks later. We returned to Norway last year to finish our trip to NK and back. …….So again, well done to making it there and get well soon.
💪 Your experience is truly inspiring, and I'm grateful for your kind words and well wishes. 🙏 Here's to both of us healing up and continuing to chase our dreams on two wheels! 🏍️💨
I had a low speed get off (hired bike on day 3 of an 18 day ride) not far from Berchtesgaden in 2006. Right side hurt like hell. Went to the hospital and I had 2 broken ribs, but no attendant soft tissue damage. I was able to continue riding, but was NOT a happy camper.
The worst part was zipping down a road in Italy at about 100kph when I sneezed.
Thought I had been shot. Completely paralyzed for a few seconds - luckily the road was straight.
Get things sorted - your bike will be waiting to see you - I assume that it's in a safe place.
Glad that you made it to the Nordkapp - that place has been on my list for decades.
god damn! My GP told me that I wasn't to ride or drive my car under any circumstances for 3 months post-injury for this reason D:
@@SaffySprocket This is probably why women live longer than men. This was in 2006 and I rode about another 4000km after the hospital visit before I had to turn the bike back in. But I was younger then and foolish - only 61. 😁
I don't really know what to say Saffy except I'm relieved to know you survived your ordeal and this is a classic case of " life is what happens when you're making other plans!".
Navigating lifes many obstacles is the real journey and coming out the other side , even a little battered and bruised, is called winning.
You're absolutely right, life has a funny way of throwing us curveballs when we least expect it! But you know what they say, it's not about how many times we fall, but how many times we get back up, right? 💪💫
When I read the title, I expected the usual Saffy calamity. Didn’t expect it to turn out the way it did. Sometimes things conspire against us, but good effort for trying to continue.
Whoa! What a horrible accident. I'm so glad you were rescued and managed to keep going. I hope you are stronger now and can continue your adventures. :>)
Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊
What a nightmare :( But remember, the bike is just a piece of metal. Don’t worry too much about that, it will come back. Most important thing is your physical and mental health! I would immediately start planning a new trip to the exact same location, but then in the summer. I’m planning the same trip, so let’s meet at the North Cape! Keep riding. ❤
Oh goodness, you're so right! 😔 It definitely felt like a bit of a nightmare, but you know what they say, what doesn't kill you makes for a great story later, right? 🙈
Crikey I don't know how you coped.I fractured two of my ribs at the rear of my back.Its the worst pain ever. Even during recover a sneeze or a cough was sheer agony.Your one tough cookie.
It's true, the pain can be absolutely excruciating, especially with something as simple as a sneeze or a cough. 😣 Thank you for your kind words and for recognizing the toughness it takes to push through. 💪
I remember the Nordkapp Globus. I did the trip in my 60th year ... a now or never adventure. I took it really easy from my home in Isfjorden, and arrived there on the fourth day. Had half a dozen pictures taken by a Lithuanian chap working there, jumped on the bike and rode home again ;) Stunning scenery all the way except for a place called Grong. Pissed down going up and pissed down coming back ... those poor folks that live there. I only made one stop, which was the Tirpitz museum. Worth the money 👍 Doing what you did in that weather took balls. Shame you never popped in for a cuppa on the way up ;)
You are not a failure Saffy, you're a winner and I'm not just saying that. Just look at where you are and what you've achieved to get there, you can hear it in your voice before the incident. Similar thing happened to me. Two days away from home after a two week trip into the outback of Australia and I ran into an Emu in the middle of nowhere. Ripped my knee apart and had to be airlifted to hospital. That was the biggest adventure of all haha. Hope you mend quickly 🙏 ATB Jason 👍
Your support means a lot to me, especially during this challenging time. 😊 It sounds like you've had your own share of adventurous mishaps, like running into an Emu in the outback! 🦘
Just keep going Saffy we're all here for you help you anyway we can ❤
Jeez Saffy!!! What an absolute nightmare to the end of a fantastic trip!! Hope you’re feeling better soon and get your bike back ok 👍
❤ Thank you so much!
You’ll have to let me know when you’re available for a brew and a ride out x (spoke to you at abr)
I got t-boned by a truck on a bucket list ride last August. I relived it watching this. Get well, my friend
Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! 😔 That must have been an incredibly frightening experience. Take care, and here's to many more safe and memorable rides in the future! 🏍️💖
@@SaffySprocket thank you and same to you. I’m still a little timid on the bike and it’s away for the winter now. I’m hoping I’ll get back to the passion that I used to have. I’m sure you feel similar.
Respect! You will definitely sort everything out!
Thanks a ton! 🌟 Your respect means a world to me. 💪 I'll keep pushing forward and get things sorted out! 🚀🙏
Oh Saffy, all the hugs!
🫂
Sorry you had to experience all of that, get well soon, looking forward to seeing you further adventures
Thank you so much for your support 🫂❤️
We don’t often think we can injure ourselves while sitting still. That was a nasty accident falling down into that rock strewn ditch with a 500 lbs plus motorcycle coming down on top of you. Fractured ribs are so painful. I hope this doesn’t destroy your riding ambitions. You will probably never forget how this happened, and it won’t likely happen to you again. Hope you are back at it quickly.
I'm sure I'll be back at it as soon as possible :-)!
Saffy, that could have happened to anyone.
I ride alone and l have leukaemia which means l must NOT hurt myself or risk infection as l have a compromised immune system.
People ask me why l risk riding a fast motorcycle, l tell them when l ride I'm totally focused and l forget about cancer but if l sit in the house l get stressed out.
You get better and go back, finish the job.
I've been watching your videos during my chemotherapy Treatment and your positive attitude helps people like me.
Get better and get the bike.
I totally get it! The biking becomes a safe space to decompress from everything going on doesn't it?
Total respect for taking the journey on, on your own... gutted it ended in that way.. 🙌🙌
Thank you 🙌
Glad to see you’re OK So sorry you couldn’t finish up your motorcycle journey
Thanks a bunch! Yeah, it was definitely an unexpected turn of events, but I'm grateful to be okay. Who knows, maybe there's another adventure waiting just around the corner!
Oh Saffy! Not quite the adventure you were hoping for, and not one you'll ever forget... One to tell the grandkids for sure!
Glad to see you're all good now (I'm just catching up with you!) :-)
Ouch! Ribs are the worst injury ever........and i have quite a few to choose from. Be patient, it does eventually get better but you can't hurry the process.
Ribs sure do have a knack for making everything a bit more challenging, don't they? 😣 I'm sorry to hear you've had your fair share of rib-related woes too
Oh Shit, hope your recovering OK. There are few things more painful than broken ribs. I've broken mine several times and it's awful. Sending hugs and kisses.
Recovering well thanks!
Get well soon Saffy
❤ Thank you so much!
We wish you the best, hopefully it won’t take too long to recover.
❤ Thank you so much!
Take care and get well soon 💪 I hope this is not the end of your motorcycle journey. ✌️🏍️
You and me both!
You're a very strong woman, well done you, tiredness probably the biggest factor, let's all go together next time, a big bunch of ladies (maybe a few men)... And how amazing are the people who stopped to help initially and the bike group who rescued you. Cried with you, but after all we don't learn from the stuff that goes right, only the stuff that goes wrong.. all in one piece, hail saffy sprocket 🎉❤❤... Onwards and upwards xx😊
Oh my goodness, thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😭💕 Yeah, tiredness definitely had its way with me that day, but you're so right, we learn and grow from the moments that don't quite go as planned, don't we? 🌟 massive shoutout to the incredible people who stopped to help and the bike group who swooped in like real-life superheroes? 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Don't ever change, your ace as you are 🩷
