That sounds like quite a ride there Ironworking.  Glad it wasn't worse!

Thank you. Too bad i can't pass my magic wand over your foot and make things B2N. Back to natural!

My doctor says I should be resting and recuperating.  I have a feeling that those pics you want to send me will not allow for any rest at all, so I'll politely decline. ;)

 8) PC buddy.......understand that GB was there to help give you some peace of mind prior to his arrival in Sparta. Now before you hear from them liars that will try to deframe my wonderful person, I was not asked to leave the pool area, I was not asked to leave the motel, nor was I at any time in police custody. However John did enough tormenting me that I did not miss you in the least bit. Now I am heading west and will be thinking of sending you some pictures to cheer you up......

I don't know you man, an i am very new to VDR. I've taken a few hard spills and that one is worse than anything i've had to endure. Sucks it happened to you; an really glad it hasn't happened to me! I hit a not so bright woman in SLC, UT. She did a ballistic left turn with no blinker right in front of me. We both were in the opposing inside lanes of a four lane street in the downtownish area. Like you i tried my best to avoid the unavoidable. To no avail !!! Five witness' said that me and the bike did 3, yes 3 flips before hitting the pavement. That bike had much the same damage as yours. The datsun station wagon that chick was driving flipped over on it's side an spun about 130 degrees. That was the worst accident of my riding career. Permanent torn left rotator cup, fractured left clavicle, some minor road rash, and thanks to The Lord my God i was wearing a half helmet that almost always collects dust!

A teleporter would have been most handy to have that day!

Geee, I can feel the shock you've got at that time...but I won't ever be able to feel the pain...
There's one thing I can not stand about traffic: stupid people doing STUPID manouvres in front of me!!!
I wish I could have a teleporter on ma-deuce, just to be able to avoid them... or maybe could be better a bazooka! ;)

I happened to be going by the site of the accident with my camera today, so I thought you'd all like to see just exactly how long my skid mark was (about 15 feet or so) and how long I had to react to this truck that was suddenly blocked my path.  Remember, I was doing 50mph and the truck was basically a brick wall since it was moving 90 degrees from my direction.

This skid mark is now 5 weeks old, has been through several gully washers, and loads of traffic as it's on a main drag, and yet it's still quite visible in the middle of the lane.

No time for one in the shorts!  Besides, my wife could be proud of me because the undies they cut off of me that day happened to be brand new ones!

No time for words!  My skid mark was only 20 feet long!

Was that skid mark on the ground or in your shorts? :o

Yeah, see that's the thing.....it would have to happen before long or it wouldn't be worth it probably.

As for walking, no.  The doc's say no walking for 6 months, then I'll have to learn to walk again.  For now, no weight at all for several months.

I see one of the frame bends in the pics.   Man, you must have really gotten whalloped by that truck.  That guy from Wheels Through Time does frame straightening, but it would probably be pretty expensive to do.. . . . and to do it right.

PC, I would take you up on that offer, but going out of town this next week, and no time to get out there.  By the time I get "time" to get over there and get her out of the clink, I'm afraid the storage bill alone will be more than the parts are worth....

So how are you hanging in there?  Are you walking yet?  Just wondering how the leg is mending.
