Hi all, my first post, shame it has to be of when i crashed my first zxr400 on a sunny november afternoon in 2006.
80% loss of arm movement,50 staples,broken shoulder blade,decompresion of the nerves system,broken suprascapular+brachioplexus all at 30 mph and a lorry.
Glad to say all working now .

I was worried about losing movement of my thumb, but to lose movement in the whole arm must have been scary! Glad it all works again. That must have been horrendous.

I used to always get a shiver passing a lorry. They are the last thing you want to hit!

It's pics like these that makes me think of going back to driving a car...haha...you guys really do have too much time on your hands. I wonder if most of those injuries are because of rider stupidity? I've got guys passing me a few times while I was riding, most of the time it usually isn't safe to do so.

That was the last time i rode on the road, i was racing that year aswell and have been back racing the last 2 years. just purchased a zxr400h1 2 weeks ago to do up and then maybe go back on the road as i do miss it. i admit things do and go wrong but if you ride safe without stupid overtaking's etc then just enjoy.

ahhh some of these just put you rite off, i was lucky from my off, all i had was a swolen foot...ALWAYS, ALWAYS WEAR LEATHERS.

Mine injuries were with my leathers on, its not worth thinking about if i hadnt been wearing them. they certainly saved me big style.
