"Its alive I tell you........."

by The Squirrell 22. January 2011 13:04

After my year long build, I finished my Enduro machine!

 

BUT...It wouldn't run properly! After hours of diagnostic works, and numerous

(Yet undocumented!) swear words, today, it was ridden in anger!....

 

I threw on a helmet, boots, and gloves, (Didn't want to ruin all QEH's

wondeful work in one afternoon?!) and had a FANTASTIC time for a few

hours!

 

I had 3 things reinforced to me today:

 

1) (Whilst riding) How amazing my new ticker is!

2) (Whilst on my arse groaning) I am not as good, or

as skilled as I was 20 years ago!

3) These bikes are heavy to lift off of you!

(No harm done to my delicate constitution, but ruined my trousers!)

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
