It was a relatively simple highside. From the marks on my boot it looks like my toe dug in first and then the bike came down on my leg, which sent my foot south whilst I was northbound. The only grazing was on the toe and the inside of the boot.

I got some x-rays done today and needless to say I will need the bone graft:

OK, so your leg is Stuffed, what does the bike look like?

What made you Highside?




I hope all goes well with the bone graft!

I have no idea what the bike looks like as I haven't had a chance to see it yet. I have been told by mates at work that it isn't too bad, mostly cosmetic damage. The copper who attended the scene said he thought it was repairable too.

I still don't know how I managed to lose it. It probably didn't help getting off a Honda CT 110 that I had been riding for four hours prior, nor that there had been some rain during the day.
More than likely it was just cold tyres and too much throttle.

BUGGA!

Howz the Leg goin?

Could be worse. I had the bone graft a few weeks ago so now it is just a waiting game. I have been told to stay off it for another month, so hopefully I will be walking again sometime in September.
Thanks for asking.

Well....When you do return to riding....No silly buggas then....eh....

I have been invited to go on a ride with one of the coppers that investigated my accident. A police escort for a blast up the old Pacific Hwy is very enticing, so I can't promise anything....

Boys will be Boyz!....

Dude:

I'm in Melb. (Yarra Valley).
Know anyone around here?
