Former Channel V host and general devil-may-care individual Danny Clayton is DJing at the Groovin The Moo festival, currently touring the country, but he’s lucky to be there, after a recent, gnarly incident involving a motorbike left him black and blue.
Clayton told the Daily Telegraph that he was riding his beloved Ducati Scrambler in a paddock near the Colo River when he was came into a corner dangerously, and was thrown from the bike.
He said, of the incident:
“I was practising power slides and came into a corner entirely way too fast. I high-sided, meaning I was thrown violently into the air and hit the ground very hard. I was wearing all my safety equipment, which saved me from further injury, but I’ve torn major muscles in my rotator cuff, so my shoulder is injured, and I struck my ankle while coming off the bike, so I have a purple foot.”
Clayton remains vertical, and says that the nasty spill hasn’t deterred him from future bike-riding escapades:
“I should probably put my motorcycle racing behind me. You can’t keep a good dog down though.I’m still on the Groovin The Moo tour. And I’m going to a surfing and motorcycle festival in the south of France this June.”
Stay safe m8.
