Nope, still haven't decided but I've got a couple in mind that I need to try, something completely different;)

St Mary's IOW hospital...

The technique basically involved inserting the K-Wire into the wrist and then guiding it up through the bone into the little finger from the incision that's only ~5mm long, I've received worse scars from grooming the cat:smt027

Ouch, mine wasn't a clean break either, it was the 5th metacarpel, all I had left of it was the knuckle, about half the stem and five fragments in between...

Big thanks to the hospital team though, I haven't got a bad word to say about them:smt038

Still going to be a Triumph though? It won't match your leathers otherwise.

Almost certainly not another Trumpet. There's only one subtle branding on the trousers, and I'm not vain enough to buy a new set just for that:smt016

Nothing wrong with matching your bike you know. :smt016
