Back in 2006 I got taken out riding my R6 to work, as I turned off the motorway at 25kph a blind 25 year old blond ***** driving Daddy's Merc decided to do about 120 kph UP THE HARD SHOULDER and did not see me........The R6 set off down the hard shoulder at 120, I went up about 2m vertically and landed on the car that hit me and smashed the windscreen with my elbow......THEN she could not see so she braked hard and sent me down the hard shoulder like Tom Cruise on my face and all would still have bin ok (full face lid plus protection etc) had not my feet decided to go under the armco barrier and when they arrived at a vertical my right foot was er chopped in half ouch........
I went by Helicopter to surgery (4 ops), 6 weeks in hospital and about 18 months to walk again. She got 100% of the blame and 2 years driving ban and er thats about it really, **** all else. And did she EVER ask me how I was???? No.......
