Hello there
I called in after seeing your letter in the MAG mag (ha ha). Brilliant idea for a website. And after I've read other people''s stories I feel very lucky. I got my brill ( well I thought it was ) xj900 written off in June 2005, being hit by a boy racer, in of all places, my local tesco's petrol station!! My right foot was skewered by a foot peg and my right thigh bone snapped in two. Three years later I have a limp, no sensation in my bottom half of my foot, and lots of pain in my leg but I'm alive and still riding, just not as much as I used to.
The worst things about the accident was that people said I had only myself to blame for my injuries because I was a biker and riding a 900cc bike, my family saying they would disown me if I rode again, and the response from other bikers, who treated me like a leper. Thanks to my wife and true biker friends who supported me whilst recuperating and my decision to ride again.
