You guys make me feel better. I have been playing on the internet a lot looking for parts and stuff ,It may be true what they say misery loves company.
I would not wish the hurt on anyone and yes I have been thinking I'm a little old for this, But I love them motorsickles.
I have a great wife for putting up with my pasion for riding and taking care of me .
My son in law Joe has been the most helpful really a Godsend ,he was with me at the Bash really a great guy.
My best friend came over and put a new deck on my mower then the next week cut the grass fo me
The world is full of wonderfull people
Wear your gear it really works

glad to hear that you are feeling better and seeing as how we are sharing here is my hardware. Thankfully mine has been removed. :cheerleader: I could have sworn that I had a copy of my Xrays but here is a picture of the rods that were in my leg.

Mac my accident was from working on a friends 1984 Silver Wing. I had rebuilt the carbs and took it for a ride in my court which is about 1/16th of a mile long. On the return trip I felt a shudder in the handle bars and then it hooked left really hard at 15mph. All of the bikes weight landed on my left Knee.. lower tibia. I shattered it! Here is the picture of it! Once it shattered, I let loose of the bars and was dragged down the street another 20 feet. I was only 2 houses down from parking it for the evening to go out with my brother. The left front caliper got really hot and locked up. Corrosion on the left caliper sliders caused the brake to stick on.
