The reason I not been around is that Silver Fox was involved in a serious RTA on my birthday (25th April)

He sustained the following injuries: broken ribs, on his left side he smashed the ball and socket of his hip, broke his femur in three places, the bone came through the skin and part of it snapped off and was left on the road, he fractured his right wrist and had whiplash, various cuts and bruises when he was thrown backwards up the road.

He stopped breathing and was unconcious for 20 minutes.

All that from travelling at 40MPH in a 50 limit because of a momentary loss of concentration coming to a roundabout, when due to the bank holiday, the traffic was backing up, he took evasive action, but it was too late, his handlebars clipped the rear of the car, which wrenched them around, he went over the handlebars of the bike and through the rear screen of the car and the surfboards that were on there caught him in the chest.

The black Suzuki Bandit 1250 was written off, as was the car.

Now, here's the strange thing, there were no marks on his leather jacket, or his jeans, the only sign he had had an accident was a few scratches on the back of his helmet and the neckband was pulled away.

He knows, I know and the surgeon knows, he shouldn't be alive now, but he is, so for that I thank the ancients, he has no recollection of what happened prior to and during the smash, though I have 'seen' what happened and why he never broke his back.

It going to be a looong road to recovery, at least 18 months according to Glen his consultant, so please, if you are able, send healing his way.

I barely got time for my own forum, let alone anywhere else as you will appreciate.

Thanks,

As a former bike rider I wish Silver Fox the best of wishes. He is doing well I think
