Well to cut a long story short I manage to come off the speedy on thursday night. Now you are all wondering why it has taken me so long to post.... I have only got out of hospital this afternoon.

What happend

well I was on my way home and was doing around 40mph when I braked to go over a sleeping policeman on a slight bend, the bikes back end just went from underneath me, I corrected the slide but unfortunately for me I had no room as the kerb was in front of me and the bike went down,it landed on me, flipped over and carried on down the road where it came to a standstill against another curb with me by the sde of it.

What I had braked on was a manhole cover in the rain. I have literally smashed all the bones that form the wrist in the hand


As you can see in the pic above, all the small bones I have shattered as well as broken the radius clean in half. I also have managed to dislocate the hand and tear the tendens and nerves all at the same time.

Bike

I think the frame is bent as the upper fork shrouds have literally punched two dents into the tank, handlebars are twisted as well as the usuall stuff when laying the bike down. Just waiting on the insurance company now to see if I am right or wrong.

The specialist says that I will lose the use of the hand and my bike days maybe over but time will tell.
