    Things again for the best wishes guys, great to see the support out there from fellow bikers. I've still a long way to go yet and first mile stone is 8th July to see if left leg splint can come off dislocated leg/hip, that'll ease the walking a little not having one ridge leg. Next is review of dog bone sticking out my leg sometime towards end of July along with rib fractures, so as you can see I'm getting there. :)
    Out of hospital now with lots of handy accessories to help round the house just waiting for the raised toilet seat to come or it's going to be the commode and I can't see the misses been very help emptying that!
    From photos bike looks repairable and is now at local dealers getting priced up, most damage seems to be on right hand side but one of the fork legs has deep scratch and Honda only supply the whole thing at £2000, so may have to send it to Ohlins to see if they can replace outer section only, however my understanding is the SP forks are slightly fatter than standard????
    Only I have all photos together I'll post them here.

    Firstly glad you are on the mend sounds like you've had a rough time !

    For info

    My ohlins forks fgrt 204 are the same size I think and the gold outer tubes are £202 each as I'm getting mine replaced next service due to a few cosmetic marks, thought that May be of some help to you :) try MH racing he may be able to help as he's a authorised ohlins dealer

    Glad your on the mend mate, best advise I can give on a fast recovery is keep up the physio I have had so many ops since my accident and have tried both doing them and not and it def makes a big difference

    Oh dear, Extreme body modification!!

    I was expecting the damage to look a great deal worse (not that that it isn't bad enough!)
    Hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery and can soon crack on getting your P&J back to its former glory
