    Was knocked of my bike 7 years ago
    Broke the following:
    -Femur twice
    -hip
    -knee
    - 2x collar bone
    - 3x ribs
    - hand
    - wrist
    - 3x toes (everything counts lol)
    - I also had a swelling on the brain

    Luckily the vehicle behind me was an ambulance and I was just outside the hospital in bristol if it wasn't for these I would never of made it. I had an 11 and half hour operation and lots of metal work and then had to basically learn to walk again over 2 years (not bad considering they thought I wouldn't ever walk) I was very determined to walk as blades don't look as nice triked

    I will upload pics as soon as I can, I'm not very good with computers so need the misses to help

    Cheers
    About 12 operations now but that should be it for around 10 years now fingers crossed.
    I just can't wait to get back on again, I last road in September and it's driving me mad!
    May catch the end of this season if I'm lucky.
