Hi, I thought you'd like to look at my scooters that I've got now.. Well, one of them any how, as I smashed up the GTS on the way back from the IOW this year. A P200 seized in front of me, and I clipped the back end of it resulting in the scoot flipping over, send ing me and the Missus, flying over the handlegrips. Trish escaped with bruising, but I'm afraid i Came off worse.. A suffered a broken Tibia, and Fibia ( arm and leg to you non doctors!) I'm sitting at home, watching with jealous eyes at my mates going out on a Sunday morning... grrr. I'm hoping to get a new GTS pretty soon, as the old one, was mashed up pretty badly ( the frame was twisted ) the scoot landed on my legs, with the engine still running, and a friendly AA man took the scoot off me, and instead of using the kill switch, he gave the throttle a blip. The scoot then summersalted across the road! I didn't give a monkey's at the time, as I was dosed up on Morphine!! :smug: :smug: :smug:

The bloody cast came off today, however they've put a brace on me.. I feel like Forest bloody Gump.. "run Forest run!!!"
sigh... I'm going to get Physio for both my leg and arm, as the muscles have wasted away, I feels like I've got cramp - really badly... :roll:
Never mind, another step nearer to being back on the road!
