Letter from Niki:

Posted: Thu 19 Sep 2002

Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I've been in contact and it's not because I don't love you anymore, it's just because the damn phone line is taking so long to install! My body is coming along slowly but it still feels like it was hit by a YZF250 pinned in third gear! (that's right it was). I've been in rehab for one week now here at the Royal Talbot and although the gains don"t feel that big, when I look back to where I was a week ago I have come a fair way.

I am up and able to move myself around in a wheelchair these days be it for short periods of time only. Finally I'd just to say good luck for everybody riding the N.Z. Nationals this weekend in Wellington. Hold it on, but not too much because I still want a top ten number!
Thanks for all the contact and once the phone line is in and my lap top hooked up, contact will be more regular.
Go hard, Niki.
