am still alive....
Last Sunday had a bad accident with my bike. Only now I have enough energies to get here to spk about it.
Basically what happened is that I was driving on a 2 lane road whena car on my right comes out of a side street totally ignoring the stop sign and drives into my lane. He squashes me against a rubble wall to my left but i still keep control of the bike until finally he hits the side of my fairing with his bumper. The bikes hits a stone which had the shape of a ramp and it literally launches into the air - according to my friend it flew more than a storey into the air. The bike slams me on the other side of the road and then into a wall. The bike flies on the other side of the road.
The funny thing is that I dont remember ANYTHING. I have a complete amnesia to 1 hour before and 6 hours after the accident. I only know what happened cos my friends driving behind me told me about it. After the accident it seems like I woke up on my own removed jacket and helmet and sat next to my bike. Apparently i was completely confused and wasnt recognising anyone and couldnt figure out where i was. I dont remember being taking to hospital on ambulance, nothing at all. Life seems to have started again after 5 hours when i was in my cubicle in hospital.
Injuries
CT brain came out normal
Fractured clavicle and shoulder blade
fractured wrist
sutures on my legs
scar on my face
I had full gear except jeans. The helmet held the bang but became oval.
Took me a day or 2 to start figuring out what was going on but now i feel ok and ready to ride lol
My shoulder will need fixation with an internal metal plate which will keep me out of the scene for a month.
Some follow up with MRI brain for the head injury
Here are some pics
Overall I feel like lucky I am still here to tell u about it. Bikes come and go but we only have one sheet of flesh!
The bike is totalled. Time for a breath of fresh air. My biggest question is either an 07 R6 or an 07 600 RR. Help!!!

Good thing you are ok. I would make sure he has insurance. And then I would sue him for negligance, careless driving and pain and suffering. For like 100,000 dollars. People like that shouldn't even be driving. Think of how much time you lose for work, school, your medical and not too mention your losses of your bike.
