Me before, Hondah CBR 250 RR,

bike after, i was in hospital getting my leg rebuilt! came around a nice corner, following some mates, as you do on a nice winding road, came in a bit too hot, ran wide, and i deliberatly layed her over and pushed the bike away and went for the slide,to avoid impacting a railing,and going into the scrub. the last thing i remember was watching the road remove my visor TIP ALWAYS wear a FULL FACE hat. its amazing how things slow down and you can react during a crash sequence! i remember hitting the road, it getting really hot, the gravel ripping the visor off, then i closed my eyes, then i remember hitting the armco railing, and then opening my eyes to find my myself lying under the railing, it wasnt untill i sat up and waited for my fellow riders to return that i felt the pain in my leg. my boot came off! and it wasnt until the ambo arrived i found i couldnt walk on my painfull leg, the bone behind your shin bone was completely shattered. oh well. other than that, just a few cuts on my finger, and no other injuries, not bad for coming off at 60 Mph in a corner on a country road. the bike, well... pics.

you can see where the rim took the full impack into the fence, the bike ended up on the opposite side of the road, 1 fork completley broken off, other bent, wheel pushed the exhaust system back onto the block and smashed radiator. apart from that, just the usual fairing damage from sliding across a road. the Bike was Rebuilt and i still have it! and the bolts in my leg as a reminder..
