Damn man, I'm sorry to hear this.

Like everyone here, I'm damn pleased you are in one piece - bruised, bloodied, but still with us.

I also appreciate you're going to be unhappy bordering on depressed re the HP2. We all of us love our bikes. The HP2 was a work of art, no question, and I'm sorry for the loss.

Heal well, Nutts.

Thanks for all the thoughts! very much appreciated. A big thank you from Ana, Indira (daughter) and myself.

The paramedics, after cutting my prized denim into ribbons.. they finished off what the asphalt didn't do, saw my leg swollen up and thought of the hemorrage inside and basically told me
" you can't move your ankles, your left leg or bend you left leg. you right ankle is swollen and probably broken also ".

Once at the hospital and after the xrays they gave me the all clear bone wise but when they tried to stand me up I got dizzy and lost consciousness and they lay me down and lowered the head end of the bed and raised the leg end. I came back and they tried to stand me up again after a couple of hours and I got dizzy and fainted again... soo, they did a CAT scan on my head/neck.

I got the all clear after they rec'd the results and got discharged from the hospital.

It's all muscular, thank God. People say it was bad luck... I say, I'm lucky. I could have been paralyzed or worse. I'm happy to be alive and the pain will help me reflect on what happened and try to avoid situations like this.

The lady (probably 18-20 y/o) who caused my anguish came to visit me with her brother and was all broken up inside, she couldn't stop crying and my wife had to end up comforting her!

Bike will be fixed or the insurance co. will give me another one. What a make the beast with two backsing shame, of only 3 that are known to currently exist in Spain.. 1 is kaput. I hope I can buy it off the insurance co. as scrap and build something out of it or use it for spares.. or anything else perverse my mind can think up.

For all who've asked for pictures... WTF? I'm on the road screaming in agony.. DO YOU REALLY THINK I'VE GOT TIME TO TAKE PICTURES??? What is wrong with people?

My workmate, Fernando, did take some with his cell phone which I 'll post up when he forwards them onto me.

I guess the silver lining here is that there is a young lady out there now that won't ever miss another motorcyclist.

Here's to a speedy recovery.  [drink]

Thanks for the thoughts, I'm getting better by the minute. There's an old spanish saying - "Bicho malo nunca muere", translates to
approx - "bad bug/creature never dies".

They'll have to shoot me to kill me.

Her boyfriend (was in the car with her and saw me mid flight) has just come out of hospital after 2 months - he was knocked off his motorbike and had shattered his right arm.

it is interesting to see that you are already considering riding again. i was the same way. however the bike is a different story. i built my bike bigger and better that it was before i crashed it. but i still didn't like riding it anymore. i don't know why but thats the way i am. maybe you should add a poll to this thread. new bike or fix the old one? i would be interested in what everyone elsethinks. sorry to give you extra work while you are down, but maybe it will make the time go by a little quicker  ;D
