To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs
Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick

Bear in mind this bit DOESN'T hurt......
No they are not stockings... they are anti-embolism socks (pullled down) before the 900 crew get all hot and bothered
This bit DOES hurt

I know, picture doesn't quite capture the depth of colour, nor the yellowness of the surrounding tissue.......
Spoke to witness today. It appears it was a woman making am illegal R turn in a possible attempt to shortcut the traffic....
some possible discrepencies of police procedure on the scene appear to be emerging too....but I waiting to talk to some people in the know re that one....

Just seen this thread, hope all is well, and obviously you are vertical again.
Nice bruises!
I feel all left out now, I fall off a bloody mountain , missus gets a broken arm and lots of sympathy, you get bruises and lots of abuse!
and what do I get? zip, nowt, nothing, nada, not even a bloody scratch!
just proves that "fat" bikers bounce better!
currently owned ....
1996 YAMAHA TRX850 gone away for little holiday with Andrea
1997 YAMAHA TDM850 which are obviously an acquired taste. I fink I'm starting to get it now.....
1998 DUCATI 748 ... one way of keeping an old man broke.
1999 YAMAHA Thunderace there is STILL no finer motorcycle
2008 SUZUKI Bandit 1250SA ...... fecked by yours truly, but ......... still fitted with the worlds most uncomfortable bike seat. ouch!

Changed to local hospital so not having 40 mile commute for appointments
They brought appointment for follow up forward (at 4 weeks from the off I'd hoped they'd see some healing)
Can't see any healing on xray, they reckon another 6 wks in sling, doubtful of rehab starting before Xmas...
which may mean I may have to defer my last year at uni and resit it 08-09, NOT good as a mature student trust me
Then i see on the discharge notes that the original hospital made NO mention of the damage to my leg??
So now got to sort that out with GP
Insurance assessor arrived this am, had look over bike & said he'd call later
Just got off phone, due to possible frame, engine, fork damage it a write off, which is what i was expecting....
what I didn't expect is that he has listed it as a Cat B write off (cause the LH footrest mount on frame is tweaked so technically its a new frame) so I can't rebuild it
Aarrgh Ferk It
