Default Cow down. Ruined my leg.

Hi all,

On the 26th of June i woke up in hospital looking at my parents.

Id gone for a ride mid day as the weather was amazaing. Just a shame it didnt last long.

I have no clue what happened as i remeber leaving the drive then waking up in hospital.

Ended up with a compound fracture of my lower leg, road rash, black eye, bleeding nose and mouth & a blood clot in my left lung.

spent two weeks in hospital, one in intensive care and had 3 operations leaving me with a nice rod lown the center of the bone and a massive section of my skin missing covered in some borrowed skin from my thigh.

Bikes okay-ish but i do need a fair few replacement parts that hopefully you kind people may have kicking about in the shed.

It needs a new tank, gear lever, left tail fairing, left set of handlebar switches, clutch lever, left barend & radiator (possibly left pipe.)

Pretty gutted its all happened and hate not knowing exactly what happened.

And now im unable to walk without crutches and my legs full of scars and a chunk missing.

If youd like photos of said leg. let me know ahaha.
