He lost the back end on a left hander (speed around 45) and slid across the road feet first into 2 bollards and a speed limit sign ripping them out of the ground. The bike hit the kerb and continued round the corner.
He's ended up with right heel and ankle breaks, his flat mate was off to collect him from the hospital when I left.

Got his bike back to his house, damage doesn't look to bad to my uneducated eye, back end took most of the impact. It lost all of it's oil, hopefully just from the broken cover. I had a bit of a wait for the recovery so started making a list of what was broken/damaged, both front fairings?, left mirror, clipon, engine cover, gear lever, rearset, rear plastics, brake light, sub frame (anything behind the front seat is buggered), rear wheel, possible twisted linkage, frame slider (worn down to the bolt).

On the plus point this could have been a lot worse, although he was moaning on an earlier stop that he was hot and regretted wearing his leathers had he not done so the inch of missing knee slider would now be a couple of inches of missing knee. He was lucky to avoid any oncoming traffic and the bollard stopped him from hitting a stone wall.

The speed sign

I should also say the police and the ambulance crews were brilliant. They even left me with a community police guy for protection from passing pikies until the recovery eventually turned up. The RAC however were cr4p I'll be cancelling my membership and they will never see any of my money again.
Green flag actually wanted to help, bit useless though, if I was to tell you I wanted a motorcycle recovering would you then ask if it was 4 wheel drive?

Get well soon!

One of my colleagues had a similar injury from falling down some steps (no she wasn't in police custody

) and has been off work for weeks. I hope his heals (no pun intended) faster than that.

Just talked to Nikki, Stu is still in hospital. He wasn't released last night (me not understanding who 'flat mate' was collecting), he had surgery last night to set the ankle and heel. This morning he's back in theatre having his shin fixed.
