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.

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