Lucky bastid :o

Did your wheel hit the painted lines or something?

[Vortecks]

I saw a rabbit..... I swerved to miss it..... the rabbit turned round and ran the way I was going so I banked it over and clipped the curb.
When the cameraman put the camera down, he was trying to get the rabbit off the road.
Hit it or miss it, I was destined to come off that day...... the rabbit wasn't touched.

Damage.....
The bike slid for 220yds, straight down the white line but I bounced for 110yds.
Broken hand (now pinned and plated), bruised liver, bruised kidneys, 2 broken ribs, the skin on my right arm was torn off where the zip on my leathers popped. I'd ripped the flexor tendons in 4 fingers and I had a very bruised pride.

The police said (when I was in hospital) "how fast were you going?" I said "60mph", he said "how come your speedo was jammed at 135mph then?"

I was very lucky that day because there were concrete pillars all along the edge of that road. I rebuilt the bike and sold it after I'd recovered (5 months later).

Lucky mate
I'd rather 4 wheels than 2 tbh, I was once passenger on a suzuhonda thingy doing 120mph, I had brown underpants getting off it, never again, good job the rabbit survived,

[Jameskibler]

oh niiiice!

looks like the surgeons have done a good job there, that bandage stuff that doesn't stick is a amazing. Saves a lot of pain!

[Gundummy]

wow .. and i thought my job was dangerous lmao .... let's start swapping scars next ;D

Si, hope you're all healed soon  :stretcher:

[FPVSteve]

[Cockney Boy]

Wowzer, I'm with you Steve, looks horrific now! Hope it heals quickly though!

[bignose13]

Cheers lads
That pic was actually Thursday just gone, the dressing they put on was great fair play, took about 5 mins of soaking in saline and then fell off
Still painful on the nail part though and it's amazing how many times you bang just the two fingers

[Dillwhacker]

I had a freaky think called a "Whitlow" years ago - the surgeon had to cut my nail off, but it grew again, and  after 6 months it was just fine.
Never bothered me again.
It will be fine dude !
:D

Latest pics from yesterday's visit to local nurse
Much better now
Back in work Wednesday

[FPVSteve]

Looks like you've gotten lucky this time mate, glad it's healing well - hope the throbbing has calmed down a bit!!

[Vortecks]

You really should stop biting your nails  :D

It's looking a hell of a lot better mate. I bet it's not half as painful now!

I think the Skywalker should come with one of these.....

Strong, stylish and won't look too bad when you go clubbing (I mean discotech, not smacking people over the head)
