| | Thanks for posting this. An excellent warning not only to those minded to get cheap helmets, but also for those who like the open-face option... I have a Shoei and they do seem to be an excellent make. I'm very glad yours did its duty well.

| | WOW, that is an amazing impact. You are lucky to be alive. This is what is left of my boot after my accident 
No wonder my foot now looks like it does.

That really doesn't look too good does it? Hi John. I have been told that there is a good chance that I will never walk 100% properly again due to a combination of the foot and knee damage. That said, after I crushed my shoulder in a bike accident years ago I was told I would not have full use of that. I have full useage of it now. Like you are experiencing things like this can get you down without a positive attitude, I am positive I will be able to walk again. My wife tells me I will be able to run again but only if I loose 4 Stone!! Cheeky mare

If my bike was returned to me in several boxes, with everything smashed, I would feel better, but apart from a broken brake pedal it was rideable, in fact the insurance man rode it into the back of his van...... bastard.

| | That's the problem, bikes are metal and plastic and on the whole crash quite well. We are on the other hand a little more fragile and dont tend to fair so well. Mind you my R6 fell over when I accidently lifted the side stand, near £200 damage. Bike crashes are weird, I highsided my DRZ, forks twisted in the yokes and the handguard got scratched, I broke two ribs and wrenched my shoulder. Just cant get it right

Ah, you're like me, put your bike first lol. A mate picked up my 750 after my biggie, straghtened the bars and rode it to work next day.
That hat has paid for itself and more. Do you remember anything about the accident yet? It may be a memory locked away forever.
